I am a girl. I'm 16 years old. I have read similar topics, but something I did not get the answers I need. I don't think I have a problem because when I was little I didn't have such problems. I have hair all over my belly, my whole back straight all over my body literally all over my body every part except my palms. I have a face, but there are fluff and they are not visible only when touched and above the upper lip and under the ears (I do not know if the girls are called sideburns). I'm worried. I do not know what to do. Summer will come and I will be ashamed on the beach. I know what you say wax mask but no. When I remove them, they will become dark and grow constantly. I remove the hair on my hands with an epilator and after three days they are still moral and over the upper lip in the same way. I don't want them to get black and thick. And it's a lot of money to depilate the whole body. Please advice.

When you were little, you didn't "have" hormones, boy. Now they are raging because you are in puberty and for that. It is hormones that now make them grow not only everywhere, but also quickly. You will go to the doctor first. Gynecologist and endocrinologist. To see your ovaries. Have them test for female sex hormones. It is usually the gynecologist first, then they refer you to an endocrinologist. In the meantime, you remove your hair. Just know the difference between an epilator and a car. Both pluck the hair from the root. This is important to pluck not to shave. Go to the doctor because hair does not kill, but if you have PCOS you will have other problems over time. On the net you can read what PCOS is. Don't be afraid, but know that you will fight this for a long time. I'm 40 and I've been like this for 12 years. My daughter has the same problem. It is really expensive to get rid of them in the only right way - laser hair removal. That's why I recently managed to get a home photoepilator. It is still not cheap - BGN 600-700. But it pays off. Keep in mind that until now I removed everything with an epilator. Thin and dilute. About 30 years ago, however, they killed more and more on my face ... They just ruined my self-esteem. And drastic measures already need to be taken. Unfortunately, I do not know if it will work as really recommended everywhere with this method - home. Time must pass for now I am still on the 1st procedure. I understand how unpleasant this is for you at this age. It is unpleasant in any other. Walking on the beach for me is a pain. I live in a seaside town. Well, there is no such movie, I pass by the beach after work, I throw my clothes and splash. Three days is plucking skin preparation and only then. I tried it right away. But I'm very white and every pore from which a hair is pulled out of the salt water and the sun is inflamed and it shows what I did. Abe sucks. Start waving at the most drastic places right away and go to the doctor. Find out where the reason is. There may be concomitant treatment. My daughter is 19 and is already being treated. I'm not saying to be poisoned by drugs, but sometimes if you don't treat the problem, drugs are the lesser problem.
I've been like you for 20 years ... I recently bought a photoepilator - well, it has an effect. Hair grows more slowly and thins. I advise you to buy. The problem is that your body is still developing, the hormones are raging and I don't know how effective photoepilation will be for you at the moment.
