These Substances may Alleviate Hirsutism
Hormones
Supplemental, natural Progesterone (usually applied topically as a cream) may alleviate Hirsutism:
Anecdotal reports from menopausal and menstruating females report that facial and body hair decreases or disappears after three to six months of twice daily topical administration of Progesterone cream.
Prescribed Medications
Finasteride may help to prevent Hirsutism (by inhibiting the conversion of Testosterone to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by the 5-Alpha Reductase enzyme). [1]
Metformin may be an effective treatment for Hirsutism in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) patients. [2]
