Facial hair in women isn't always a sign of medical issues, but certain types of hair can be a red flag.
Social media is full of videos of women commiserating over the odd (or not-so-odd) chin hair. Videos of influencers sharing hair removal tips, or even actually plucking hairs from their chins, are all over the apps.
