Facial Hair after chemo?

I finished chemo 6/17/14 and my hair is growing in....but I now have hair on face and under my chin. Like a bunch of fine peach fuzz type hair, but is this normal and perm?? I meant to ask MO at my last visit and forgot about it. I haven't started Tamoxifin yet and this is happening!

I had that happen on my cheeks and it did go away after about 6 more months.

yes I had that! Fine, light hair on my cheeks and top of my neck. Super weird. I came here to BCO and did a search and found that others with it were just using a trimmer to get rid of it and after doing that for two weeks (once a week) it never grew back. Thank goodness.

I had it too. Used "Fuzz Off' product. Found it at Ulta. Recommended by someone on the forum:).

okay....good to know ladies. I guess this isn't that uncommon!

It's normal and temporary.  I ended up with a fine, silky down all over my face when my hair started to come back.  It disappeared after a few weeks...
