Aoa, one of the side effects of use of tetracyclines for acne is facial hair in women. This is certainly secondary to medication you have been on for acne. You will need to go on anti-androgen medication to reverse the effects of this. Please consult me online I should be able to advise you some meds, you may need specific laser for your skin type for hair removal which we can recommend.

just don't worry it's because of increased sensitivity of Hair receptors to enzyme which makes more conversion of Testesterone to dihydrotestosterone.i would advise LASER HAIR REMOVAL AND GET YOUR SERUM INSULIN LEVEL IN MORNING ALSO CHECKED.you are welcome to contact me or skinlife clinic to give solutions to your problem.Good luck
