Excessive Shoulder Hair

Hey everyone,

I’m 19M and dealing with a couple of things that are really affecting my confidence and daily comfort.

Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of hair growth on my shoulders (upper and lower), lower back, and even some on my cheeks. It’s not your typical body hair — it feels excessive, and it’s spreading fast. I know body hair is natural, but this just seems abnormal for my age.

To make things worse, I also have aqua urticaria (I get itchy or rashy after water contact), so skincare and hair removal options are super limited for me.

I went to a dermatologist, and they basically said “Just leave the hair, it’s fine” — but honestly, I don’t feel fine about it. I’m looking for an actual solution that’s safe and practical, not just a brush-off.

So, I’m reaching out to ask:

•	Has anyone else gone through something similar?

•	Could this be hormonal/genetic or should I get more tests done?

•	Are there any gentle, urticaria-friendly hair removal methods or treatments available here in Pakistan?

•	Should I see an endocrinologist to rule out any underlying issues?

Any advice, personal experiences, or even product suggestions (especially local ones) would mean a lot. 🙏 Thanks in advance — this sub has helped me before so hoping someone can guide me again.
