I'm actually really glad Amy brought this up becuase I've been having a really similar problem under my chin. At first I had no problem plucking the little buggers, as it was only 1-2 every few months, but now there are even more of em and it drives me crazy to have to pluck them. And I refuse to get them waxed because then it's something I'm going to have to do for the rest of my life, and not something I want to have to worry about every week/2weeks.

I have PCOS too, and there is a little patch under my chin of unwanted hairs. Just like how Lady Kirara is having, it was very seldom and now it's constant. It was driving me crazy and on my last visit to my obgyn I was in tears about a whole slew of other problems my last doctor never addressed and told her also about the hairs. She prescribed "aldactone" to me to thin out the hairs and slow down their growth. She said she also takes it herself which she rarely discloses that to anyone, and to expect it to take a long time for it to work. I've been taking it for about 8 or 9 months now and I have noticed the hair coming in a lot lighter, I can feel them but can't see them. I'm pretty satisfied with it.
Having PCOS has been a struggle for me. I've been through a few different drugs trying to correct its effects. Heck, it took a few different doctors and about 10 years for them to diagnose me properly.
