Female excessive hair growth on tummy! Anyone else exp
am a 22 year old woman and since about a year, have had a line of excess hair growth from pubic area up to belly button. It is noticeable and uncharacteristic. I'd never had it before. Started light then grew darker.
I can't bear to remove it as worried it will grow back even thicker. I hate it and am frustrated. I'm too self-conscious for any sexual intimacy now.
I'm otherwise healthy and active. Been on combined pill but it has not effected this in any way. I have no other excess hair/symptoms etc so have pretty much ruled out PCOS. I do suffer from bad acne though.
Has anyone else experienced this? Will it ever go away? Why did it randomly appear then, post-puberty? What can I do?
I don't know what to do. GP didn't seem to know or care when initially mentioned. Shall I request hormone test? Ask to see a gynaecologist? Or who would be the best specialist? I really want to get to root of the problem?
Any advice/experience is so greatly appreciated !
