Facial hair 😱
I've been using mirena since October 2017 (about 5 months now), and so far I've had hella breakouts on my jawline and even my cheeks and neck. I have OCD which causes me to pick at even the tiniest blemish; makeup and a skincare regimen helps a lot, so I'm managing it relatively well.
But lately I've noticed a new problem: stubborn facial hair (on my jaw and kind of like a goatee too and under my chin). I've always had dark fuzz on my face and when I was a kid I would bleach and I sometimes dermaplane, which btw does not make thicker (other techniques like threading electrolysis make me break out). Problem is, since the jawline curves and whatnot, I can't reach everything. I bleached recently but it didn't seem to do anything! I'm going to paxeast in a few weeks and I'm cosplaying this year so I want to look my best, but more importantly this ladybeard has been going for... maybe a month now? I only really noticed it kinda recently. If I can find one gentle enough and meant for the face, I'm thinking of just nairing it, at least under my chin.
I think it's another temporary side effect of the hormones, which will probably go away by next October, but I've heard that for some people the problem goes on even after removal. Should I get it removed asap or just give it time?
(Also w regards to the acne I wear makeup Monday-Friday for work and sometimes on weekends if I'm going out. I really can't wear it less often because then I'm guaranteed to pick but I do have a facial routine that has helped a lot and I'm trying to eat better and drink more water.)
