Tamoxifen and facial hair

Hi everyone, I was just wondering has anyone on tamoxifen experienced an increase in soft facial hair? I started tamoxifen about 10 weeks ago (after chemo and radio) and just recently noticed increased fluff on the sides of my face. It’s nearly growing faster than my head hair which seems a bit unfair! Could it be the change in hormones?

Hi lotusflower, thanks for responding. My period stopped during chemo in June so I think I’m in some form of menopause, so that must be it. The absolute joys of it all.
Hi Mariam, I’m on Lexatrole, but I noticed that a few years ago during the menopause so it is likely the hormones… the joys of it all 🙄
