Excessive facial hair
I have been diagnosed with PCOD and due to this excessive hair is coming on my face. Is it safe to use any hair reduction cream to reduce the hair? If yes, could you please suggest me some good cream/medication? I have sensitive screen but do not have any achne/pimple problems.
