Hi fellow cysters,

I've lurked for a long time and finally decided to post. I feel so frustrated at the moment I just need to talk to fellow pcos sufferers. I was diagnosed with PCOS about 6 years ago, and started taking the usual medications religiously over the past year and a half. I've lost weight, and noticed an improvment in the regularity and flow of my periods.

One thing that has not changed is the hair on the points of my chin. At first there were just a couple of coarse hairs which I would wax off. Then I started noticing ingrowing hair which made me more paranoid because they would leave bumps and pimples. ( I have now discovered that waxing is very traumatic to the skin and follicles) It now seems to be spreading around my chin area leaving horrible scars. It's gotten so bad I can't imagine leaving the house without puting on make up on the points of my chin.

Will this ever end ? Will reaching my goal weight get rid of this ugly symptom of pcos? Has anyone experienced similar problems with facial hair?

Help appreciated!
