On Laser Treatment For Folliculitis, Large Boils With Large Amount Of Hair From Each Boil Seen. Taking Acupuncture. Is It Normal ?

I have folliculitis, I'm getting laser hair treatment, but after treatment, I'm getting large boils, and large amount of hair is coming out of each boil, guessing 50 hairs or more, I need to go back to have this checked, but I'm also having acupuncure too, and they think I'm having problem with adrenal gland, Is this normal? Face had cleared, when I had laser done. Should I see a endocrinology Doctor?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Acupuncture is effective or not ,time will tell .
Scientifically it is not proved as far concerned about removal of facial hair.
In my opinion this treatment is not effective for facial hair,I may be wrong.
For adrenal gland ,you should contact an endocrinologist.
Large numbers of facial hairs ( female) found in female due to Poly cystic ovarian disorder ( P C O D) .
Hirsutism occurs in female ,due to pcod and consultation with endocrinologist will help you in adrenal gland and facial hairs.
Hope I have answered your question.
Good luck.
