Hello everyone, well I need help and have advice I guess.
I have hirsutism pretty bad, I've had it around the time I hit puberty. I have hairy toes (thank God my DH doesn't like me for my feet!), a hairy tummy, some on my chest and all over my face! Though from the neck down I haven't found a solution other than shaving, I have gone for one IPL treatment and have three more left and am already noticing a difference! Some of the hair has already started to fallen out under my chin. It kinda felt like a little sting that you jump at no matter if it's your first time being zapped or you're almost done. I had no real pain, no redness really either (I was really nervous, I had school after and you couldn't tell I had anything done!).... so so far IPL gets a big thumbs up from me, I know a great dermatologist in CT if anyone needs a referral...
On the other hand I may or may not have thinning hair. I guess I do need advice on it. I don't think it's bad but I want to catch any problems before they start. I was on Aldactone once but no BC so I stopped because the thought of birth defects was scary. Now I'm thinking about along with my met getting on Yasmin, also trying Nioxin and the Ultra Nourish Hair stuff from GNC. Anyone have any success stories from any of those products? I'm on metformin 2000 mg/day I will have to check with my endo to see if they are contraindicated at all. I'll see him shortly. Here's a picture of my scalp... my hair looks really gross because I'm being lazy today and haven't showered yet so it looks extra oily... but please give me any insight you may have. I have a cousin who is nearly completely bald on the top and many cousins that are thinning. I feel like I'm doomed! Thank you in advance!
My hair issues...
