Facial Hair
Excessive facial hair growth, typically seen in men as beards or mustaches, can be concerning when present in women. This condition, known as hirsutism, is characterized by unwanted or unexpected hair growth on the face, which can significantly impact self-esteem and confidence.
What causes excess facial hair?
The hormone androgen is responsible for regulating hair growth in both men and women. However, when there is an excessive release of this hormone, it can lead to unwanted facial hair growth. Additionally, certain medications, such as minoxidil and calcineurin inhibitors, may also contribute to excess facial hair.
Who is at risk?
Individuals with a family history of hirsutism are at an increased risk of developing excess facial hair. Since hormonal imbalance plays a significant role in this condition, genetics can greatly influence its occurrence.
Signs of excess facial hair:
Signs of excess facial hair may include acne flares, increased muscle mass, and a deepening of the voice. These signs often accompany hormonal changes associated with excessive hair growth.
Prevention of excess facial hair:
While it may not be possible to prevent natural hair growth, avoiding medications known to increase hair growth can help minimize excess facial hair. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and managing stress levels may also contribute to hormonal balance and reduce the likelihood of excessive facial hair growth.
