My new mustache

Hello again!

I have been taking Biotin for 11 months in anticipation for surgery this past March. I know it won’t prevent hair loss, rather promote hair growth (I started losing my hair 2 weeks ago).

However, about 3-4 weeks ago I noticed I have developed a semi-dark mustache. I pointed it out to my husband and he said “I saw that the other day and wasn’t sure if I should point it out” so it's obviously noticeable.

Anyway, could this sudden appearance of facial hair be due to the biotin, the surgery, or hormones? I now have an appointment with my hair gal to wax it off. This will be the first time wax has ever touched this girl. ;-)

Any feedback is much appreciated.

Yup, it's the Biotin. I think it affects anyone differently. I stopped using it because of this reason. On other weight loss blogs, people have commented about this problem. I don't think I've seen this issue on here, but I could be wrong.

I've heard that as well. I've been taking it 3 or 4 times a week instead of every day in hopes that that won't happen to me.

Geez Louise! I've taken it twice a day for 11 months. I must stop before I grow a beard. Thank you ladies. I guess I didn't research Biotin as well as I thought.

Have a GREAT day!
