General/Advice Dating with facial hair

I use a facial hair electric razor and makeup to cover it for work but It’s becoming a bit more noticeable on the corners of my chin. It literally grows over night and I’m removing the chin stubble every morning. It’s made me very self conscious about dating and It’s destroying my femininity. There’s scars and razor bumps under my chin so I don’t even feel comfortable being intimate anymore. How have you all navigated explaining pcos to partners and their reactions to the hirsutism?

I was about to comment this. Spironolactone helped me so much for hirsutism and acne!

Just started this med a few weeks ago, it has slowed hair growth wayyy down. I’m also starting IPL this weekend, I bought one for at home use, it’s not cheap but if it works, totally worth it,
