If dark hairs appear on your chin, especially if they’re coarse or growing suddenly, here’s what you should know:
🧬 Common Causes
Hormonal Imbalance: Elevated androgens (male hormones like testosterone) can trigger facial hair growth. This is often linked to conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
Genetics: Some women naturally have more facial hair due to their ethnic background or family traits.
Age-Related Changes: Hormonal shifts during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause can cause vellus (peach fuzz) hairs to turn into terminal (dark, coarse) hairs.
Medications: Certain drugs, like steroids or hormonal treatments, may stimulate hair growth.
