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.
