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.

View allI'm looking for an ointment to treat jock itch but I really need one without menthol or any cooling agents. I've tried some before that had those and it wasn't a pleasant experience. Do you have any good recommendations?
You can try using Clotrimazole cream, which is effective in treating jock itch. Apply a thin layer of Clotrimazole cream to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks.

I'm a 22-year-old guy and I've been noticing that the skin on my inner thighs and especially my penis is way darker than the rest of my body, which I'm really not happy about. Plus, I've got some white spots on the back of my penisnone on the frontand I wonder if it's from masturbation. It seems like the back is more sensitive too. I've got some pictures that clearly show the difference in color and the spots. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how I can even out my skin tone?
please physically see a qualified dermatologist and discuss this with him
