Coping with Excess Hair due to PCOS

I bought a good razor and a wax pot. Remember to have a good soak and use a body scrub before waxing/shaving to soften the hair, remove dead skin, and go slow to prevent ingrown hairs and/or razor bumps and cuts. And always use a shave foam or oil and lots of lotion after

I started getting upper lip and chin hairs in 2020 and just ignored it because we started masking and no one is seeing my face. Now that those restrictions are loosening and my problem is at a peak with a number of the hairs coming ingrown. I’m a notorious skin picker so I now have like scabbing and scars. I finally bit the bullet and went to the doc and dang I wish I did it sooner!! She prescribed Spironolactone which is to help moderate the hormones responsible as well as some things to help my skin heal. I just started this week but it does feel nice to feel like Im doing something to help it

I pluck and shave mine, but it is a pain in the butt. There are a couple of medications they can prescribe to help and I'm thinking of asking my doctor about them.

This has been one of the things I struggle with too. Aside from waxing, I’ve also tried using an electric razor, for the times between waxing where it just bothered me too much.
