These are very often the areas in which women who have no other male-type hair growth will develop male-type hair, especially the outer edges of the moustache. When my moustache first started growing I had coarse male-type hair at the outer edges of it long before I had anything growing right across from side to side. In fact, I was shaving every day for years before I had to shave a complete moustache from side to side. |
That's what I was thinking too, that it would be the finer hairs to be affected by the spiro first. There were some spots I knew it would affect before I started it, but some I was pleasantly surprised at. lol
Hopefully what happened to me will happen to Sparkbark - those hairs that she sees as having changed the past few weeks/months will be affected by the spiro. I don't agree with her doc, either, that those hairs won't be affected by spiro just cos they're fine. For me, the hairs were still very fine, they had just gotten dark. Also, I've been slacking off lately taking my meds, including spiro, and some of those areas still haven't reverted back (although some have a bit -- I need to get back with the program!).
