Suddenly getting dark hair on my chin. Hormonal problem?
Most likely this is a hormonal problem, usually related to excess androgens (male hormones). In the case of menopausal women, it is often that with failure of the ovary, estrogen falls more than testosterone creating a relative excess. There are a number of relatively inexpensive safe drugs, such as spironolactone, that can combat the effect of testosterone on your skin to slow down or stop male pattern hair growth. Testosterone and adrenal androgens should be measured prior to initiating therapy, to make sure there are no other causes. READ MORE
