A member asked:
Does my friend have hirstutism if she has dark moustache-like fuzz on her upper lip?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: What is the ethnicity of your friend? Hirsutism describes unwanted, male-pattern hair growth in women. It may be from excess androgens (testosterone) or an ethnic or family trait.
