What Causes Excessive Hair Growth On Neck And Chest While On Microgynon?
I ve taken the mycrogynon pill for around 4 years, for the last 10 months I ve had lots of hair growth on my neck and chest, which appears to be getting worse. The hairs are dark and thick, and often become ingrowing, which, once I ve managed to get out become red and little scabs, which makes the embarrassing hair growth even more noticeable. Could my pill be causing this?

Hi,
Excess hair growth or hirsutism is a side effect of mycrogynon (contains estrogen and progesteron hormones). If troublesome, kindly discuss with your doctor for alternate options.
