Every woman knows the horror: you look in the mirror and see one (or more) uninvited \u201cguests\u201d on your chin that were gone yesterday. The first reaction is usually to panic and grab the tweezers. But before you pluck them, stop for a moment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Dermatologists warn<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0: this could be a signal your body is sending about what\u2019s going on inside you.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Gene lottery or hormonal game?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t worry, you\u2019re not alone. According to Dr. Hadley King, a dermatologist in New York City, chin \u00a0hair<\/span> is much more common than you might think.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The reason:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s a combination of genes and hormones.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    The mechanism:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Male hormones (androgens), which every woman has in small amounts, interact with hair follicles. If your follicles are more sensitive to them, the result is unwanted hair growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    2. When should you worry? (The red light)<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Single hairs are usually harmless. But there are situations in which they are a symptom of a more serious problem.<\/span>
    \nPay attention if:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n

      Hair growth is accompanied by an irregular menstrual cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Your skin has become oilier or you have developed acne.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      You have unexplained weight gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      These may be signs of\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0. In this case, tweezers will not solve the problem \u2013 a consultation with a gynecologist and endocrinologist is needed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
