I have PCOS... Which gives me extra androgen hormones which gives me extra hair and it's on my neck too 😢 I got bullied endlessly for it.. It's DARK, too. I was wondering, YouTube and the Internet aren't helping me at all. What can I do to cover it up more? Concealer and foundation help a tad but does anyone know any tips to hide it more??

You could shave it off if you want.
Or you could go with what Hailey said.

Are you being treated? If I'm not mistaken, hormone therapy can help with PCOS symptoms.

I've heard having laser treatments for that are great for helping get rid of excess hair and after a few treatments it's more permanent lasting meaning less hair for much longer! Or buy a hair removal cream? :) hope that helps.

I would get laser treatments, or try waxing or shaving (just be really careful) bleaching it will only make it light but you will still see the hair. They have a new hair removal laser called Tria (look at sephora's site) it is very expensive though

DO NOT SHAVE IT!! I know 100% what you are talking about my friend has the same thing and I have on my stomach and back and I shaved it so it's 10000 times worse just wax or bleach it then wait until your old enough to do laser..

I would look into electrolysis if it were me. It is the ONLY permanent hair removal solution. Plus it's less expensive than laser hair removal. Once you get it done then you can forget about it!

Whatever you do DON't SHAVE IT! That will just make it thicker, darker and more obvious! I really don't know what to do, but all I know is that you shouldn't shave it.

Actually it's a myth that it's grows back thicker. The stubble just makes it seem like it's thicker. I do shave it and it does not come back thicker. I'm poor. Really poor. Laser treatments are not an option. Until I get through college and start my career, I'll look into bleaching or waxing.

I think you can go under hormone therapy. That may correct it. I was under hormone therapy time ago for other reasons and the kind of hormones I was taken made most of my body almost hairless.

Bryanna its not a myth it happened to me on my thigh hair. And my arm hair. It's grows back in thicker, and sometimes darker.

I'm pooooooooor to. I will look into it for you!! I know special mess and laser treatment probably itsnt an option since it quite costly.

You can shave it, wax or or use hair removal cream.
Bleach the hair or get laser surgery?

I agree it's a myth what you are doing is blunting the ends of the hair so it appears thicker and the blunter the razor the thicker it looks. That's why any thing that pulls it out from the roots makes it thinner appearing because you are literally removing all hair from that part of your body and it's a completely new hair growing in.

Everyone's hair grows differently so for s.

Some people the thicker hair growing back after shaving May be a myth but for others it might actually happen :)
