Does plucking chin hair make it grow more?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Plucking chin hair is the most easiest and inexpensive way of hair removal but it may sometimes cause more regrowth, hair thickness and skin damage. Laser removal is the best and permanent solution but it also depends on your skin type. So it is suggestable to consult with a doctor and get treated accordingly.

Plucking chin hair does not make it grow back thicker or more numerous. Here's what you should know:
-
Hair Growth Basics:
Hair growth is determined by genetics and hormones, not by plucking. -
Plucking Effects:
a. When you pluck a hair, it is removed from the root, so it takes time to grow back.
b. The new hair may feel coarser initially because it has a blunt tip, but it is not actually thicker. -
Repeated Plucking:
Frequent plucking over time can sometimes damage hair follicles, potentially leading to less hair growth in that area. -
Hormonal Factors:
For adult women, chin hair can sometimes be influenced by hormonal changes. If you notice increased hair growth, it might be worth discussing with a healthcare provider. -
Safe Hair Removal:
If chin hair bothers you, options include plucking, waxing, threading, or laser hair removal. Each has pros and cons.
If you have concerns about hair growth or changes, consulting a dermatologist or endocrinologist can provide personalized advice and treatment options.

I've been dealing with a fungal infection in the area between my breasts for about a week now, and I'm not sure what to do. It's really uncomfortable, and Im worried about how to get rid of it. Can you help me figure out a solution to eliminate this problem?
You can use Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole tablets 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks to treat the infection effectively. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further fungal growth.

I've been applying dermadew cream for my facial acne, but now I'm having some bowel discomfort and there's a bit of itching or a burning feeling on my face. Could this be because of the cream? Do you know of any alternative medicine I could try? I'm a 30-year-old guy.
It's a good idea to discontinue Dermadew temporarily to see if the symptoms improve. If your acne persists, you may want to explore other treatment options or consult with a dermatologist for a personalized skincare routine. As for the bowel discomfort, its important to consider other factors (diet, stress, etc.) that might be contributing to that.
