HIRSUTISM

 

What is Hirsutism and what are its causes?

 

Most, if not all, adult males have visible hair growing on their faces and body. Women, on the other hand, have only very fine downy, inconspicuous hair on the face and body. If hair becomes darker, thicker and visible, then the woman is suffering from hirsutism, a problem that may cause intense misery. Consult a skin specialist and remember that medicines should be taken strictly with the consultation of a doctor. Medication may prove very useful when used along with cosmetic treatment, reducing the growth of hair and finally with continued treatment, making the hair inconspicuous.
