Hypertrichosis
Hypertrichosis is the excessive growth of hair in areas of the body where it is normally sparse or fine, and it can affect both men and women. Unlike other conditions, it is not limited to areas dependent on male hormones.
Forms of presentation: it may be localized to a specific region or generalized; in some cases it is present from birth and in others it appears later.
Possible causes: it is related to hereditary factors, to certain medications, or to underlying conditions that should be identified.
Which specialist to see? The evaluation of hair and skin falls to the dermatologist, who can provide guidance on the origin of the growth. If you notice an increase in hair that concerns you or that changes rapidly, it's worth discussing it with this professional.
