Medical Conditions - Hypertrichosis

A medical disorder called hypertrichosis is characterized by uncontrollable hair growth on the body, frequently in places where it is unusual for hair to grow or where it is very fine and scarcely perceptible. It can be inherited, acquired later in life, congenital (existing at birth), or caused by a variety of causes such as drugs or underlying medical disorders. Depending on the underlying cause, hypertrichosis can affect self-esteem and cause emotional anguish, although it can be treated with treatments like laser therapy or hair removal techniques.
