Unwanted body hair is something that nobody wants to deal with! The problem can make you more self-conscious about your appearance.
In medical terms, abnormal or unwanted hair growth is known as hirsutism. It’s a problem that is more common in women than men.
auses and Symptoms of Unwanted Body Hair
Hirsutism affects between 5 and 10 percent of women, according to a report by the Indian Journal of Dermatology.[1]
It tends to run in families. Also, women with dark hair are more likely to be hairier than those with a lighter pigmentation or blonde hair.
Plus, it can be caused by an imbalance of hormones in the body or use of certain medications.
