Werewolf syndrome, also known as hypertrichosis, is a rare condition that causes excessive hair growth on the body:
Types
There are several types of hypertrichosis, including congenital and acquired, generalized and localized, and others.
Symptoms
Hair growth can be anywhere on the body, or it can be limited to certain areas. The hair can be vellus, lanugo, or terminal in type.
Causes
The cause of hypertrichosis is unknown, but it could be linked to porphyria cutanea tarda, androgenic steroids, lichen simplex, or malnutrition. Medications like minoxidil, phenytoin, and cyclosporin have also been linked to abnormal hair growth.
Treatment
There is no cure for hypertrichosis, but it can be managed with short-term solutions like shaving, waxing, chemical epilation, plucking, hair bleaching, or intense pulsed light treatment.
Life expectancy
People with hypertrichosis usually have the same life expectancy as people without the condition. However, people with hypertrichosis may experience discrimination, isolation, and physical or psychological abuse. #HealthInAMinute #HypertrichosisAwareness #StayHealthy
