I am an extremely sad girl. I have excessive hair on almost all parts of my body including my chin, back, stomach,around my nipples, etc… I had waxed or used a string to pluck the hairs but realised that the situation was simply getting worse and worse, for the hairs became thicker… Last year, I began a Laser Treatment to finally get rid of this horrific problem that I have had since puberty. It has been a year that I am being treated. The result has simply reduced the hairs in a way where I cannot feel them if I touch my chin. However, they are extremely obvious in the sun and the shame has failed to disappear. I am so depressed sometimes that I ovoid going in areas where I will be exposed to too much light. I am an attractive person but my extremely low self-esteem has caused me to avoid relationships because I cannot bear to face my body, let alone expose it to a man. I started a good realtionship once, but immediately ran away from it once it got serious because I know he would be disgusted by my body . I sometimes picture myself with him and wonder how my life would be if I was not hairy… I cry all the time and fear that the problem will never go away. The technician that is treating me says that it will go away eventually, and that electrolysis will finish the job the laser began but I sometime loose hope and think that I will always remain like this.
Thank you for letting me write this: A reply would by anyone out there woulb be highly appreciated.
