I would like to find a drug, other than chemotherapy, that could help get rid of this hair. Places that I've talked with say it won't work on men. Electroysis is about the only way to permanently remove hair. For a while, a ruby laser was approved for use by cosmetic and plastic surgeons, which was supposed to eradicate hair follicles. However, it was removed from the market before I have had any experience with using it.
Systemic spironolactone is the time honored treatment - mainly in women.
Some physicians have used topical spironolactone to avoid the breast enlargement seen with this drug, but this is not an FDA approved indication. Back to Drug InfoNet Home Page. Back to Doctor FAQ main page. Send your impressions, comments, thoughts, etc. Inc. All rights reserved.
