I think people are mixing up normal hair growth that everyone has with abnormal excessive masculine hair growth. OP is referring to the latter. I have the same problem as the OP and it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense because the hair on my head and the rest of my body is blonde and relatively fine, almost like peach fuzz. It’s only in that one spot that it’s dark and thick. If it was genetics, you’d think that it would be consistent and I’d be hairy all over.

I’ve personally had my hormone levels, including testosterone, tested and they were well within normal ranges.

This is not a thing. All hair growth is normal. You've just been conditioned by the media to think that women shouldn't have hair. Your lab test proves my point.

Having arm(pit), leg, and pubic hair is normal for a woman. Being able to grow a beard or a mustache as a woman is definitely not normal. There’s even a medical term for it: hirsutism.

It's a 100% normal. You're just ignorant and have internalized misogyny and probably a fair amount of racism as well.

I’m choosing to go with what the experts in women’s health say. You’re being deliberately obtuse and trying to be inflammatory.

No expert is saying that hair on women is not normal. Stop your dumb BS.

They’re definitely NOT saying that an actual beard or mustache is normal. Feel free to ask any doctor.

IT IS PERFECTLY NORMAL!!!!! Repeating your nonsense will not make it magically become true. See my comment about about internelized mysogeny and racism.

I’m not even taking the bait on that. I’ve spoken with an OBGYN regarding this and know better.

You know nothing. You're just spreading dumb nonsense. Most women have facial hair and I'll be damned if I allow your BS to shame them or make them think like there is something wrong with them. Just because you're white and blond and have peach fuzz, does not mean that a woman with a different skin tone has anything wrong with her if he has a mustache or prounouced side burns.

NP here but ... do you know that doctors can be mysogenist and racist too? PP is right, it's absolutely normal. Sure, PCOS or whatever might cause more hair on some people, but hair happens ALL THE TIME without those things and it's absolutely normal.

You apparently don’t read what someone says in it’s entirety and just focus on what you want to focus on (which is apparently race and hair color). I also said that I have abnormal hair growth on my upper lip just like the OP. I’m not shaming anyone. I’ve spoken with an OBGYN about this and was told that it’s unequivocally not normal.

It’s ridiculous to jump to accusations of racism and misogyny when someone disagrees with you. Maybe you’re trolling. I really have no idea, but it’s illogical.

Just because you allowed yourself to be convinced that there is something wrong with you by some quack, it doesn't mean I have to participate in your lunacy and ignorance. I'll say it again and again: facial hair on women (and men) is perfectly normal.

I’ll only say it one last time. A woman growing a beard and/or mustache (NOT to be confused with a tiny bit of hair in those areas) is not normal. There’s a medical term for this condition. That term is hirsutism.

EVERY WOMAN HAS FACIAL HAIR. IT IS PERFECTLY NORMAL.

It is absolutely not true that every woman with extra facial hair has hirsutism (mostly due to PCOS).

Again, I will not allow you to unashamedly spread ignorant nonsense.

I agree. There are plenty of women, including me, who have to deal with an unibrow, mustache, and some chin hairs. There is an entire market of lasers, waxes, and other hair-removal products targeted at us because it's a big thing. The counter is that I still have a full, thick head of hair where some women my age are balding.

I am unlucky with both. I have fine, thin balding hair on my head and corse hairs on my chin and neck. Eh, it's part of getting older. I had electrolysis and laser when I was younger for my lip and face. It is genetic and I have always been a hairy Italian. I shave and pluck constantly. Get a razer, tweezers and a great magnifiying mirroir.

This is very normal, sweetheart. It's not abnormal. Just keep removing it.

[Anonymous]

I had upper lip (and some chin) electrolysis bi-weekly for several years in my 40s. 10 years later, it's like I never did a thing. It ended up being a waste of money since it wasn't a permanent fix. The technician said only shave between appointments, never tweeze.

The hairs now are darker and coarse, so I just shave every few days.

This might sound weird, but check your vitamin D levels. You want to supplement to get into the higher end of the normal range. Vitamin D impacts ovarian function and your hormone balances.

Too much testosterone, not enough estrogen.
