Chin whiskers are more common in women than many realize. They vary in texture and color, and while some women have just a few, others experience more noticeable growth. This can be due to hormonal changes, genetics, or medical conditions.
- Hormones: Imbalances, especially increased androgens, can trigger facial hair. PCOS and menopause are common culprits.
- Genetics: Family history and ethnicity (e.g., Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, South Asian) can influence hair growth.
- Medical Conditions: Disorders like PCOS, Cushing’s syndrome, adrenal issues, and hypothyroidism may increase facial hair.
