Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Follihair tablets contain biotin and other ingredients meant to stimulate hair growth. It generally does not lead to unwanted hairs on face and neck. I suggest that you get a complete hormonal profile done including FSH, LH, S.Prolactin and S.testosterone done to rule out underlying hormonal disorders as a cause of unwanted hairs on your face and neck. Hormonal imbalance could be a cause of your hair loss too.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
