Hello,
I read your question and i find your problem a very common one in the everyday clinic. Hair growth in females in areas that are tipical for males is not normal. It is a result of an hormonal disbalance, high testosterone level. The most common pathology at your age is the policystic ovarian syndrome and is associated with irregular menstrual cycles. Once this diagnosis is excluded your doctor will try to find out other causes for this hormonal disbalance.
Hope the information was useful.
