Q: My daughter’s facial hair especially below her chin are increasing I have tried many home remedies to remove them like applying turmeric and cleaning the face with multanimitti but there is no improvement. Please help.

A:Increased facial hair maybe due to hormonal imbalance. In such a situation, it is necessary to identify the problem and rectify it. However, in majority, no abnormality is found. In such cases it is due to the genetic make up of the individual. Cosmetic improvement is obtained by bleaching, threading, waxing, shaving, electrolysis, lasers, etc.
