Hypertrichosis: Excessive Hair Growth – Causes and Treatments
Hypertrichosis is abnormal, excessive hair growth on the face and body, often in women and children. It usually signals an underlying condition such as:
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Cushing syndrome
- Certain tumors
- Medication side effects
Treatment Options
- Medications (e.g., anti-androgens)
- Laser therapy
- Electrolysis
Addressing the root cause is essential; cosmetic removal alone does not stop progression.
