Spironolactone
I too am on spironolactone and have had miraculous results in excessive hair, i have had problems for years and a previous doc said there was nothing they could do
I have tried every hair removal method known to woman, and nothing helped , at this point laser hair removal was my holy grail, i managed to save up and started the laser treatment , it didn't work for me , even through i had "the right type skin (fair ) and dark hair ,it was a very expensive,very painful waste of money, i eventually gave up a year after treatment started, i eventually found a lovely lady who used to thread it for me, my confidence went through the roof, when we moved to the other end of the country, i was in dispare and dreaded going back to shaving
My new GP was great refered me to a dermatologist, who put me on spironolactone, i was taking 50mg at first , and after a month i didn't see any difference at all , the dosage went up to 100mg a day and i did notice a difference, the hair on my body and neck didnt grow back quite as quickly and was a lot finer , and then joy of joys it started to slow down on my face , and is now ( 4 months in ) very fine and i do think there is a difference in numbers of hairs , and have been able to keep my chin, upper lip and neck hair free with the help of the pills and a tweepi ( one of those spring things that you bend and roll over the skin, but i have found the cheap versions of these episticks dont work that well, but i invested £9 for one and its miraculous,hurts like ****, of course , but to me its worth it )
I would say persevere with the spironolactone, and as an added extra my skin is so smooth and i have lost a couple of pounds
For the first time in years im looking forward to summer so i can wear a v necked tops
