I have read numerous posts about facial hair and decided to post yet another with my specific issue.

I have a developmentally delayed daughter with multiple health problems who takes multiple medications. Some of these medications have resulted in facial hair---mostly above the lip and on the chin. She needs the meds and cannot stop taking them or replace with different meds.

I am finding it hard to keep up with the hair growth. I have tried some (off-brand) cream removers, without success and mostly have plucked each hair individually, which means I only get the worst of the hair each time, not all of it. I did get the Bellabe from QVC and, while I had some success, it seemed to cause her a lot of discomfort and it was diffiuclt for me to use it on someone else properly (get the angle right, etc.).

I might add that, although my daughter is somewhat embarrassed by the hair growth, she is not particularly cooperative with the process of removing the hair.

Now, here is my question ... what method for hair removal would you recommend? I have ruled out waxing, as she is adamant that she does not want to have it done and I feel it would be too painful for her. I should add that she also has fairly sensitive skin and no reliable skin care regimen.

I have read a few recommendations for the Sally Hansen hair removal cream. I haven't seen that before, but I am thinking I might purchase some and see if it would work for her. Has anyone with sensitive skin used this successfully?

The other option I am wondering about is shaving. I don't think I want to try it with a razor, as I have no experience shaving someone else and, as mentioned above, she isn't always totally cooperative, and she has a hard time sitting still for anything. I know QVC sells some electric shavers that can be used on the face, but I don't know anything about them. Can anyone recommend a specific product I might consider. Any pros and cons? I've noted that some seem to think that shaving will likely cause ingrown hairs. I haven't dealt with ingrown hairs before, so I don't know whether that would be a contraindication for her or not.

I know this subject has been discussed many times before, but I hope you will forgive my addressing it again, as I feel my situation is a little unique. I so want to help my daughter to look as nice and well groomed as possible, without causing her embarrassment or unnecessary pain.

Thanks so much for any input you can offer!
