I am new here, 35 year old female of Greek decent with increasingly more hair on my face in places you just should not have hair. I have an 8 year old daughter who already has a mustache and very hairy legs that she is very conscious of. I also have a four year old boy who is perfect in every way except that he has a ridiculous amount of hair on his back, always has since he was born. I used to get depressed about my hair issues, now I fret night and day about the ridicule my children will endure as they go through school. It’s just not fair and I don’t know what to say to them except, I am sorry it is all my fault that you look this way. Summer time is supposed to be fun for them and I all I can think about is how best to cover his back and her legs.
I am going to make the commitment to begin electrolysis for myself, but what can I do for my kids?
Can it really be the case that with so many people with this problem that an easier and permanent solution is unattainable? How come there are medications designed to grow hair (Rogaine) that actually work but none to kill hair? Whoever does figure out a way to painlessly and permanently remove hair without the risk of scarring will become an overnight millionaire.
