Help me ditch hairy arms

Check these out, too...

I have a lot of hair on my arms. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it or make it less noticeable?

Many girls begin shaving their arms during their teen years. Shaving your arms is a great way to get rid of hair, especially if you have a lot of hair or very dark hair. The only problem with shaving your arms is that it can be difficult, and you may end up cutting yourself, most of the time near your wrists or elbows. Not to mention the stubble…

Waxing is another option, which can be very painful, but it lasts longer and you won’t get cuts from waxing. Using a hair removal lotion or gel is also a possibility if your skin isn’t too sensitive.

If you live in a sunny climate, you can try tanning outside in the warmer days. This will both lighten your hair and darken your skin, making your hair less noticeable.

All of these are great ways to lighten the hair or get rid of it altogether. Try chatting up your mom before you take action, though. She might be able to point ya in the right direction.

Hey girl, I'm not a med expert, so I can't say for sure, but I found this article: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/01/01/Ive-inherited-back-hair.aspx. From what it says, every girl has some, and for other girls it is more noticeable because of heredity. xoxo

Any advice for this? Well, unfortunately I have hyperhydrosis. My under-arms are very sensitive though, so I can't even wear deoderant without getting a bad rash, even if it's hypoallergenic. I've tried all different types too. Also, now I'm having a problem with shaving them because when I do, I get a rash as well! I've gone to my doctor, and she's suggested a few things; none of which work. Would you happen to have any advice for this?

Hey chica! You don't want to mess with skin conditions. My only suggestion would be to talk to your doctor about anything else that may work. I wouldn't want to recommend anything to you that could make matters worse. Your doctor is definitely the person to talk to.
