Without complete tests for hormones and ultrasound, pcod cannot be ruled out, has it been done? If yes, then laser hair reduction has to be started.

Hirsutism and unwanted PCOS facial hair are very common with polycystic ovary syndrome. Hirsutism can be seen as coarse, dark hair that may appear on the face, chest, abdomen, back, upper arms, or upper legs. Hirsutism is a symptom of medical disorders associated with the hormones called androgens. Laser Hair reduction can b done to get it under control provided the PCOS is under control and there isnt too much variation. Consult a Dermatologist for the same.
