This may sound like a silly question, but does bartonella happen to cause radical facial hair growth?

I don't believe so, but lyme can affect the endocrine system that can cause hair growth.

Have you had your hormones tested?

My daughter got a good bio-identical progesterone cream, and it really helped her.

It may take a few months to level out the hormones. Sometimes by just adding progesterone, everything else balances.

It's a good, reasonable, place to start.

Thank you! The reason I asked is because a friend of mine has the same patch of hair growing in the exact same spot on the left side of her chin! Thought it was too weird and there must be a connection!
