Plucking chin hair does not cause it to grow back thicker or more numerous. Here's what you should know:
-
Hair Growth Basics:
a. Hair growth is determined by genetics and hormones, not by plucking. -
Plucking Effects:
a. Plucking removes hair from the root, so it takes time to grow back.
b. New hair may feel coarser initially because it is blunt at the tip, but it is not actually thicker. -
Repeated Plucking:
a. Frequent plucking can sometimes damage hair follicles, potentially leading to less hair growth in that area. -
Hormonal Factors:
a. Excess chin hair in adult women can sometimes be related to hormonal imbalances.
b. If you notice increased hair growth, consider consulting a healthcare provider. -
Safe Hair Removal:
a. Options include plucking, waxing, threading, or laser hair removal.
b. Choose what feels comfortable and safe for you.
If you have concerns about hair growth or changes, a dermatologist or endocrinologist can provide personalized advice and treatment options.

I've been dealing with an itching issue in my private area, and it's really starting to affect me. I'm also noticing a change in my skin color there, and it's pretty worrying. I'd love to hear which doctor you would recommend for something like this. I just want my skin back to its normal state.
Sounds like a fungal infection. Candid-B cream for local application, used 2-3 times a day, including before bedtime might be helpful for you. For skin lightening and scar repair, you can use Melalite cream. If the itching persists or worsens, seek a dermatologist consult.

I'm experiencing this prickling sensation and a lot of itching on my hands near my wrists, legs, and even on my back. It's really uncomfortable, especially during the summer. Could you suggest some remedies I could try to get some relief?
It sounds like you may be experiencing heat rash, also known as prickly heat. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using calamine lotion on the affected areas to soothe the itching and prickling sensation. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help reduce itching. Make sure to stay cool and hydrated, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid excessive sweating to prevent further irritation.
