Hypertrichosis
Hypertrichosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive hair growth on the body. This can occur in various forms, affecting different areas such as the face, back, or limbs. The condition can be congenital, meaning it is present at birth, or acquired later in life due to factors like hormonal changes or certain medications.
The severity and pattern of hair growth can vary widely among individuals with hypertrichosis. While it is often harmless, it can lead to psychological distress or social challenges. Treatment options may include laser hair removal or other methods to manage hair growth, depending on the individual's needs and preferences.
