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 have a wart near my left eye and my doctor recommended removing it with surgery under local anesthesia as a precaution, even though it's not causing problems now. Since it's so close to my eye, is the procedure safe? Could there be any risk of nerve damage or other complications? Also, what are the chances of it coming back after removal?
Wart removal near the eye is usually safe with local anesthesia; consult an experienced surgeon to avoid nerve damage and minimize recurrence.
