Annette's main symptoms are hirsutism, where thick, dark hair grows on her face, along with mood swings, acne and hormonal imbalances.

This type of excessive hair growth, called hirsutism, can be caused by genetics, or as a side-effect of certain medications.

In researching this, I read an article suggesting zinc supplementation for controlling hirsutism in women.

Since starting to research hirsutism, I’ve received over a hundred emails from women describing their experiences discovering, and living with, facial hair.

Often, the blood pressure drug spironolactone is also given to counteract androgen-caused acne or hirsutism in adult women.
