What Is Hypertrichosis?
9. Cure
Unfortunately, there is no known cure for hypertrichosis. We simply know too little about it to be able to correct the condition, but perhaps research will lead us to a cure at some point in the future. It is possible, however, to reduce the chances of the condition developing, although there is no sure-fire way to prevent it.
Avoiding medication like minoxidil can help to reduce the chances of hypertrichosis developing, but this can be difficult in people that need the drug. It is also all but impossible to tell who might develop the condition, and avoiding drugs to prevent hypertrichosis is likely to be necessary for a very small percentage of people.
