Birth control hasn't helped my facial hair. I get bad whiskers in 2 patches on the "corners" of my chin. Now that I think about it, I don't remember ever having this problem BEFORE I went on birth control. I saw a commercial for the Vaniqa cream, and I might just ask my doctor about it. Until I can afford electrolysis, I could manage with a cream.
Another thing I thought of trying is just to buy one of those hair-minimizing body lotions. A wee little dab on each side of my chin shouldn't make me break out. But I can't use actual hair removal creams...my skin screams in agony when I try those!
