Brief Answer:
It is a common occurrence and can be solved by plucking or using creams

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Hair on the nose grows due to genetics or hormone imbalances, and it can occur in both men and women. Please do not worry as this is a common problem. Plucking, tweezing, or the use of depilatory (hair removal) creams help. Waxing can get painful. You might have to pluck the hairs once in two months.

Avoid shaving the area as it can cause irritation and infection.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek

Brief Answer:
Laser hair removal is permanent and using eflornithine cream is temporary

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.

The best solution for your problem is getting laser hair removal done and this is a permanent solution.

If you want to try temporary method then applying cream containing eflornithine hydrochloride is recommended, since the skin over nose is sensitive. Eflora cream contains 13.9% eflornithine hydrochloride and is used to reduce unwanted facial hair. It is to be applied daily and for 4-6 weeks continuously to suppress hair growth. Once you stop application, the hair grows back in 2 months.

Other hair removal creams like Veet or XXXXXXX French can cause irritation and should not be used.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
