That's a shame she feels so self conscious, nlp18. I'd bet that no one else notices them as much as she does. Maybe if you reassured her in that respect, that alone would make her feel better.
Where are they exactly and are they attached to anything like a mole? I was always told you couldn't trim hairs growing from a mole which is why I ask. Perhaps someone can clarify if that's just an old wives' tale or if it has some basis in fact. If they're not attached to anything, I'd probably just trim them very carefully.
