In women, this can indicate conditions like:
-
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – often causes excess facial/body hair, irregular periods, acne, or weight changes.
-
Hormonal imbalance due to stress, medications (like steroids), or endocrine disorders.
-
Perimenopause or menopause – natural hormone shifts can trigger facial hair growth.
In men, it’s usually less concerning, as facial hair is typical—but sudden changes in hair pattern could still signal hormonal fluctuations.
⚠️ Pay attention if:
-
Hair growth is sudden, thick, or spreading.
-
You also notice irregular periods, acne, weight gain, or other unusual symptoms.
In these cases, a medical evaluation can help determine the cause and guide treatment.
If you want, I can explain why the chin is a common spot for hormone-related hair growth and what it signals about your hormone levels. Do you want me to?
