What is excessive hairiness or male-pattern hair growth in females?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too much T?: It can be familial, but you need to have a look at total and free testosterone, and dhea levels. It also depends on age. More an issue in women who have gone though menopause. There are meds and non-med options to treat this.
