Is It Normal?
What do you think?
Too Hairy
Yeah so i am a girl and something is wrong with me. I have lots of black hair on my arms, stomach, chest and everything. its digusting and its not normal. i think i might have a hormone imbalance or something cos i havent always been like it. what do you think? I don't want to use hair removal cream or shave it or anything co sit will grow back worse.
And i am too scared to go to the doctor. what would they do if i did go?

Is it fine, soft, dark hair (or other color) or pubic-like? If you are a teen you can just be seeing normal changes. There isn't a full moon tonight is there?

If you have medical insurance it is worth an office visit to ask a doctor. I'd guess that most will dismiss it and not consider it an issue. But, they may be able to refer you to someone who can pinpoint the cause and suggest what can be done to slow the hair growth. I'd bet it is genetic, in other words, you inherited it.

A razor and shaving gel can remove the hair easily, that is what most doctors will suggest IMO. As far as embarrassment goes, body hair growth is nothing whatsoever to be ashamed about, even on a female. Doctors see things daily that are grossly more unpleasant (eg external hemorrhoids) than looking at body hair, so quit worrying and relax.

Plus, shaving or using hair removal creams does not really make the hair grow back thicker or anything of that sort. That is just an urban myth.

dont worry about it!
love your body! it is beautiful and does so many things for you! every woman is beautiful.. and those men who treat us like we are meant to look photoshopped need to look in the mirror!
imagine if we had the same standards for men! hahaha! most of them really arent that pretty of a picture! sorry guys you know i love ya.
but really we are all different and unique and now that ive had a cliche ramble ill say:
Yes. you are very normal, there are a lot of girls who feel that way

get nads its a hair removal chemical that doesnt hurt like waxing and wont grow back as fast like shaveing other wise you could get it surgically removed permenantly but its costly.
