Is it possible for a girl to get chest and stomach hair?

Answer 1

It's not normal but it's not uncommon. It's possible you may have the beginning of polycystic ovaries or you have a hormone imbalance. Either way, go to your GP and he should be able to prescribe tablets e.g 'The Pill' or some variation of it to cut down the symptoms. If it's really bad and effecting your quality of life. (e.g psychologically) You might be able to get laser hair removal on prescription. I know it can make you feel really embarrassed (trust me I had it). But you're not the only one! But please for goodness sake dont shave it. It will grow back thicker and there will be more of it. I hope this is of some help to you. xx Good luck xx

its normal...but you can always bleach it....it really works

Answer 2

yes it is normal to get it, it doesnt neccesarily mean you're on steroids. All hair is made of keratin, a hard protein that's also found in your fingernails and toenails. Hair growth begins beneath the surface of your skin at a hair root inside a hair follicle, a small tube in the skin. You have two types of hair on your body. Vellus hair is soft, fine, and short. Most women have vellus hair on their chest, back, and face. It can be darker and more noticeable in some women than others, especially those with darker complexions. Vellus hair helps the body maintain a steady temperature by providing some insulation. Terminalhair is coarser, darker, and longer than vellus hair. It's the type of hair that grows on your head. Around puberty, terminal hair starts to grow in the armpits and pubic region. On guys, terminal hair begins to grow on the face and other parts of the body such as the chest, legs, and back. Terminal hair is there to provide cushioning and protection. In some cases, excess hair growth, called hirsutism (pronounced: hur-soo-tih-zum), may be the result of certain medical conditions. In girls, polycystic ovary syndrome and other hormonal disorders can cause dark, coarse hair to grow on the face, especially the upper lip and chin, as well as on the chest, belly, and back. Some medications, like anabolic steroids, also can cause hirsutism.
