Hi,
Excessive hair growth on the chin in women is a condition known as
hirsutism. It can be caused by various factors, such as
hormonal imbalances, genetics, and certain medical conditions. The medication prescribed by your
dermatologist is likely meant to address the underlying hormonal imbalance that could be causing your hair growth. However, it may take several weeks to see any noticeable results.
In addition to medication, some lifestyle changes can help improve the condition. These include regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding sugary and processed foods. You may also want to consider
hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, or laser treatments to manage hair growth in the meantime.
It's important to follow up with your dermatologist regularly to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
