Hirsutism
hypertrichosis excessive hairiness; hirsutism. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Hirsutism may be a manifestation of many systemic diseases. Treatment of hirsutism comprises pharmacological and mechanical methods. [termedia.pl]
Hirsutism[edit] Hypertrichosis is often mistakenly classified as hirsutism.[1] Hirsutism is a type of hypertrichosis exclusive to women and children, resulting from an excess of androgen-sensitive hair growth.[16] Patients with hirsutism exhibit patterns [en.wikipedia.org]
In hirsutism (male pattern hair growth in a female or child), the hair is of the adult type—thick, coarse, pigmented, and medullated. [doi.org]

Workup
Workup of Hirsutism History Age of onset : Hirsutism, which is noticed from puberty, is indicative of idiopathic hirsutism. Hirsutism starting at middle/older age is indicative of adrenal or ovarian tumors. [lecturio.com]
Therefore, a clinical diagnostic workup to rule out these pathologies is necessary. [dovepress.com]

HLA-B27
Abstract We present a 37 year-old man with HLA-B27 positive ankylosing spondylitis for the last 3 years. Interestingly, he developed both alopecia areata and hypertrichosis simultaneously following infliximab treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Summary Generalized hypertrichosis is a common side‐effect of oral minoxidil treatment for hypertension. [doi.org]
The authors present a case of a patient who developed marked hypertrichosis of the cheek vellus 3 months after starting treatment with travoprost. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Because acquired hypertrichosis lanuginosa typically occurs late in the course of the malignancy, the overall prognosis is poor. However, regression of hair growth is known to occur if the tumour is treated or removed. [dermnetnz.org]
Management and prognosis The current literature focuses predominantly on diagnosis of AS cases rather than management. The first described patient, Petrus Gonzales, lived a long life and was able to procreate [ 1 ]. [dermatology.cdlib.org]

Suitable technologies include 755nm Alexandrite laser, 1064nm Nd:Yag laser, diode laser, intense pulsed light (IPL) and electrolysis. [49] Prognosis The prognosis of hypertrichosis varies, depending on the type of hypertrichosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Summary Epidemiology BBS is a rare entity described in eleven patients to date. [orpha.net]
Epidemiology of Hirsutism Hirsutism affects around 10 % of women in the US. Hirsutism is one of the most common health problems of women in reproductive age. The prevalence ranges from 4.3 to 10.8 % in blacks and whites respectively. [lecturio.com]
One medicinal option suppresses testosterone by increasing the sex hormone-binding globulin.[26] Another controls the overproduction of hair through the regulation of a luteinizing hormone.[26] Epidemiology[edit] Congenital forms of hypertrichosis are [en.wikipedia.org]
[…] localized hypertrichosis can also be iatrogenic; it has been described following PUVA therapy, topical corticosteroids, tacrolimus, creams containing mercury or iodine, anthralin, and prostaglandin F-2 alpha analogues (latanoprost, bimatoprost).[31] Epidemiology [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
Stimulation of the growth of hair via adrenal androgens by thyroid stimulating hormone may be the pathophysiological mechanism in our patient. [nature.com]

Hypertrichosis of the auricle and hypertrichosis of the nasal tip, types of hereditary hypertrichosis, primarily affect males.[32][33] Pathophysiology The pathophysiology of hypertrichosis varies depending on the etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
However, this often results in hypertrichosis that can be severe enough to prevent its use. Diazoxide blocks insulin release from the pancreas by opening the SUR1/Kir6.2 channels in ß-cells. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Hormonal therapy and antiandrogen therapy can help to reestablish the balance of estrogen to androgen, this reduces current hair and preventing further growth. [youtube.com]
Hypertrichosis has no cure, and you can’t do anything to prevent the congenital form of the disease. The risk of certain forms of acquired hypertrichosis may be lowered by avoiding certain medications, such as minoxidil. [healthline.com]
