Oh my - I spend a good 10 minutes a day plucking thick black chin hair. Some of it rivals dh's - and he has heavy facial hair. I have two friends sworn into service if I ever become disabled/comotose and cannot take care of this.
And I've noticed my already heavy eyebrow getting longer.
And I'm not even menopausal yet. Oh joy.

Oh - and the nose hairs too - now they curl just out of the nostril. :twisted:
Add all of this to my size 6 gone size 12/14 body.... it's sad. :roll:

My dermatologist told me that is the best kind of mole (if you have to have one) because the ones with hair growing out of them rarely become cancerous. Now that is something to cheer about. lol

ME too! i hate my "stash"..pluck it all out!
i wish i could wax my chin and above my lip..
there used to be a product called "nads" i wonder if they still make it and if it works?

There is a cream you can use to stop the hair from growing. It is prescription only, expensive and you have to use it for the rest of your life. My dermatologist told me so. Guess what I don't use. I'd probably be allergic to it anyway. :(

I was 12 months without a period in december. i have yet to make an appointment with the doc,so he can tell me what i already know.
i have been going through the peri thing for about 5 years now..the hot flashes and night sweats are my only real complaint. but it is a big one!
i told my husbnd if i catch him hiking up the furnace, i would burn his garage down..

That cream is around 90.00 a tube Insurance won't pay for it either.

I tried electrolysis, but after years just conceded to the wax. First had it done at the beauty shop; now I have my own wax pot that I purchased at a beauty supply shop. But as far as those coarse chins thingies -- you just gotta pluck them suckers. Wax won't budge the coarse ones. Everytime I pluck a hair I thank God for it. My sister lost every hair on her body to chemo.
