Hirsutism Profile (for excessive hair growth)

Dark, course body hair growing in places it does not usually grow is called excessive hair growth, or hirsutism. It can occur in both men and women, but the growth of hair on the face, chest, abdomen, and back is usually more of a problem for women than for men. Too much facial hair is the most troublesome to women.
