I don't think you could gross us out if you tried. We've discussed it all, and freely. :-)

The hair might get worse... it might not. it's really hard to say. my chin hair has definitely gotten worse over the years, but the other areas have not. they just always seemed bad! :-)

as for pimples in the pubic area... well, do you mean the actual inverted triangle of fatty tissue pubic hair is supposed to grow on that is normally referred to as the pubic area? i never get pimples there.

or do you mean the area pubic hair actually grows on if you have PCOS? ie, down to the knees? :-) i do get pimples on my inner thighs now and then, sometimes they are ingorwn hairs, sometimes the hair is out but there is a pimple anyway. a lot of women also get big pimples/cysts in or near the crease where your legs join your crotch. i don't know the techinical name for that area... i remember my mother had a big boil or something down there one summer and she was going crazy for days trying to draw it out or pop it or whatever. she even asked me to help... boy was THAT weird... i thought you were only supposed to be acquainted with that part of your mother once in your life! :-)

i don't know if these pimples have to do with PCOS - my ingorwn hair ones most likely do - but other women do get them. does that help you?
