hi everyone ... I have been worried about the hair growth on my neck and chin for a while. it started off as a few hairs and I shaved them off and as you can imagine they've just grown back stronger and darker. its gotten to the point people have said to me it looks like you have a beard .. which obviously makes me really upset. I'm only 20 - I believe I may have pcos after looking at symptoms. obviously I am not a doctor but I did used to be overweight by a lot - I have since lost 5 stone so that has helped other aspects but obviously not stopped the hair growth. please can anyone help I am very insecure about this - thanks x

I went through the same at your age. I did laser treatments and nowadays I barely have any hair. Now I use an IPL machine for legs, arms, armpits and face, and no one can tell I used to be full of hair everywhere!
