Facial hair

I finished chemo early February and my hair is finally growing back. It would be okay if it was only on my head. I noticed that I have very fine down like hair growing on my face. I am way of removing it as I don't want it to come back thicker and more noticeable. Any advise would be appreciated.

  • I remember thinking the same. It seemed way more noticeable than any hair I had there previously. Maybe it stands out because of the lack of hair on the rest of our head, at first. It seems to have settled and I don't even notice it now. I feel as if it may have thinned out by itself. I am on tamoxifen now and I feel as though I have thinner hair in general and it grows more slowly. I rarely need to shave under my arms for instance. Like Robyn says I don't think it is very noticeable to others. Take care. Deanne xxx
