21 and hair where it shouldnt be?

Question

I am so embarassed. ever since I had my first son when i was 17 i get little hairs on my neck, chest and face. i have to pluck them out eveyday its so embarrassing and even i se just one i think everyone is looking at it. i'm only 21 and dont understand. any ideas as to what the problem is. before i got pregnant i didnt have this

Answer 1

It could be your birth control- the hormones could make your body react in odd ways. If you are on depoprovera, that is testosterone based, and it would explain the hair.  

Answer 2

i would say hormones. Ever since you had your son everythings been thrown out of whack. I would definately talk to your gynecologist. They can do blood test to determine if your body is maybe lacking something. If it's some kind of hormonal imbalance they may be able to fix ya.  

Answer 3

being that you were only 17 when you had your 1st baby, i would think that the baby and giving birth has nothing to do with your hair problem. It's just in your genes to have hair in these places. It's called maturing. Look at your mother and grandmothers. Genetics, darling, not pregnancy related.

Answer 4

Your hormones. I have the same thing and am currently 33 weeks pregnant. My belly is so hairy its not even funny. I've sprouted a few hairs on my face that I pluck at first sight and even some on the nipples ( which is super embarassing to admit but for the sake of the question, I will). It may eventually go away but in the mean time, just keep plucking!

Answer 5

IDk are you italian there's a girl in my grade who is italian and has double the amount of armpit and chest hair of like every boy conbined no joke and a munibrow and sideburns lol you got pregnat at 17.

Answer 6

same thing happened to my mother after having me..doctor said it was a hormonal imbalance.

Answer 7

I think it's from progesterone.  I have one pube on my chin.  It grows like a half-inch per day.  WTF!!!! LOL!  I just pluck it....but I always worry that I'll wake up and there will be more!

Sally's has some good wax products.  

Answer 8

It's hormonal and a part of life. I  pluck a couple a month myself.  

Answer 9

Ok so here's the thing before i got pregnant i had no facial or body hair at all then after i had my son it just showed up everywhere. So i asked my doctor and he told me that even years after the birth your testosterone levels are so high from being used to hormone changes that it takes some female hormone injections to get rid of. So good luck on that.
