How To Treat Weight Gain And Dark And Coarse Facial Hair?
Good evening, My granddaughter, age 21, has gained alot of weight and developed dark and coarse facial hair on sides of face and chin. Should she see an endocrinologist? This happened quite suddenly, over three years. She was always normal weight. Her eating habits have not changed. Her weight is mainly on the upper belly and face. Please give advice on what to do?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of dark facial hair. My treatment advice is –
1. Don't use any cream for hair removal.
2. Apply an Eflora cream on facial hair.
3. Other treatment options are laser hair removal by a dermatologist.
