• Hypertrichosis

  For example, terminology has included hypertrichosis universalis, hypertrichosis lanuginosa, congenital hypertrhicosis lanuginosa, and hypertrichosis universalis lanuginosa. [dermatology.cdlib.org]

  Abstract Abstract: Hypertrichosis cubiti, also named hairy elbows syndrome (HES), is an uncommon variety of congenital, circumscribed hypertrichosis in which a remarkable amount of long vellus hair is localized on the extensor surfaces of the upper extremities [doi.org]

• Hirsutism

  hypertrichosis excessive hairiness; hirsutism. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

  Synonyms Acquired hypertrichosis lanuginosa Androgen dependent hirsutism Androgen-dependent hirsutism Familial hirsutism Hirsutism (excess body hair) Hirsutism in female, androgen dependent Hirsutism, familial Hirsutism, idiopathic Hypertrichosis Hypertrichosis [icd9data.com]

  Hirsutism may be a manifestation of many systemic diseases. Treatment of hirsutism comprises pharmacological and mechanical methods. [termedia.pl]

  Androgens and hirsutism Hirsutism may be a sign of a significant medical disorder. Hirsutism is caused by increased androgen action on hair follicles. [web.archive.org]

  Treatment for hirsutism itself is necessary only if the patient finds the excess hair cosmetically objectionable. Patients with androgen-dependent hirsutism require a combination of hair removal and antiandrogen therapy. [msdmanuals.com]

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]

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]

Treatment Cosmetic treatment is usually undertaken, particularly for congenital hypertrichosis, where, unlike in many acquired hypertrichosis cases, the underlying problems cannot be cured. [hypertrichosis.com]

An average of 20% hair is lost with each treatment. Hence, multiple treatments are required to achieve satisfactory results. [e-ijd.org]

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]

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]

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]

[…] 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]

Epidemiology The incidence of CGH is unknown, but held to be essentially rare. The incidence is notably higher when the hypertrichosis is one of several signs involved in a complex syndrome. [ijponline.biomedcentral.com]

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]

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]

Women should be warned not to expect improvement or at least 3–6 months after therapy is begun and lifelong therapy may be needed to prevent recurrence. [doi.org]
