What Is Hypertrichosis?
6. Nevoid Hypertrichosis
In cases of nevoid hypertrichosis, the patient can experience excessive hair growth in patches on the body. It will sometimes be only one patch but there can be multiple patches in some instances. It can also involve the growth of different types of hair.
The excessiveness of the hair growth can vary and it might be barely noticeable in some people. The hair will also often grow in areas that are usually covered by clothing, meaning patients are less likely to be concerned about their appearance. It can, however, grow on the face and other exposed areas in some cases.
