...(excess hair)? I've had a problem with excess body hair since I started puberty, but didn't really realize it was a PROBLEM and abnormal until I was about a high school sophomore (over 2 years ago). It's just gotten progressively worse, I have excess hair on my lower and upper arms, upper lip, sideburns, chin, neck, chest, stomach, lower back and butt and legs. I'm constantly having to tweeze/pluck/bleach and pay for it all with my money and I think it's become a serious self esteem issue, I can't wear regular girl clothes. I'm too scared to ask my mom about it even though she is a gynecologist.

How do I bring it up???? That's the main problem because I'm not comfortable talking to my mom about any woman things even though I should be... I'm going to see her for 5 days during Christmas. If I go to the doctor what will they do to me? I don't want a doctor to see me naked or put their hand up my hoo hoo!!! :( I'm so scared of doctors.
