I have a big issue with facial hair. I shave everyday but there is still a little stuble. Or yuo can still see the hair folicles. My facial hair is thick and black. I know I can't get rid of it for good but at least calm it down where its not as noticeable. Please help! I am very self conscience about how I look and how other people see me.

" Have you tried aldectone? It is a medication that can help supress the the hair folicals. Also Metformin has helped me the most as far as rate of hair growth. I am going through a lot like you. I am fair skinned and have black hair. I shave everyday, and it sucks royally, but honestly this is the best I have felt in a long time about myself. When I go out I used covergirl, natural blend cover up and it helps a little bit more. I wish there was something to just make is disapper. I have thought about laser but I have heard some people don't respond and if I am going to spend money I want to learn much more about it. Good luck! "

" Hi Jen I am taking Metformin 500mg 2x a day. I don't think it helps like it used to. And what is aldectone? I've never heard of that before. Do you have to have a prescription to get it? "
