Facial hair
I have PCOS and significant facial hair growth. After facial wax I start getting hairs back in 10 days, and 3-4 thick hairs on chin and upper lips hairs are slight heavy not much but it is. I want to know whether I can use Eflora (eflornithine 13.9% cream) on my face. I am not currently using it. Please advise whether it is suitable for me and how it should be applied.

Hello,
Thank you for your query.
• Based on the information provided, it is difficult to suggest the most appropriate treatment without a proper assessment, as several skin conditions can appear similar.
• Kindly share clear photographs of the affected area in good lighting along with details such as duration of the problem, symptoms, and any treatments used previously.
• I would advise against starting any OTC creams or self-medication, as some products may worsen the condition or delay proper treatment.
• An accurate diagnosis is the first step towards effective and long-lasting results.
You may book a consultation for a detailed evaluation and a personalized treatment plan. I would be happy to guide you further.

PCOS can make facial hair grow back fast after waxing, and creams like the one you asked about work by slowing new hair rather than removing it for good.
Next Steps
Get this confirmed with your gynaecologist or a dermatologist first, since the right strength depends on your skin and PCOS pattern.
Health Tips
Do not start it on your own, since a cream that is not matched to your skin can cause irritation.
