I keep waking up and finding hair in different places. Some of it starts gradually, sometimes it is just there !! I have always had hairy legs (thighs) and arms, I started growing hair on my stomach about 7 years ago but only got it on my chest about 2 years ago. Last year it had started to get so bad I had to start shaving it. I also noticed last summer that my back is getting really hairy now - I don't think I had that before. The facial hair was pretty sudden ! I still wake up almost every morning shocked to find another part of my body getting hairy !! It just doesn't seem to stop !!

All I can suggest is pluck, shave, bleach etc if it gets too bad but if you can live with it (I don't touch my back or my thighs)good for you !!

Hope this helps.

By the way - anyone else have hairy fingers and toes ? Bizarre !!
