Hirsutism

Hirsutism, or excessive growth of hair on the face, torso and limbs, is a condition generally caused by hormone imbalance. It is a common sign of polycystic ovary syndrome in women. It can also be caused by a pituitary tumour or other serious medical conditions.

See also hypertrichosis, a genetic condition that results in unusually thick body hair.
