Hello all
I have noticed over the last few weeks that after finishing Chemotherapy and surgery, that my hair, eyebrows and eye lashes are starting to fill back in, which is great....
I have also noticed the last few days that I have a lot of fine but quite long, fair coloured hair growing in alarm quaties on the sides of my neck and face...
I am post menopause and did except to get a little hair, due to lack of hormones, but nothing like this.
Have other people had this issue/concern. If so, does it last or what did you do about it?
Any help or suggestions gratefully received
Thanks klee65
Yes…experienced the same. Attended Look Good Feel Good workshop on hair care and they said this can happen and to use depilatory cream / wax and unlikely to repeat. I was alarmed, visions of yeti sprang to mind!
