A member asked:
In my late puberty i was treated with testosterone to help me grow, could this be related to my excessive body hair growth?

Side effects: Yes, testosterone can cause excessive hair growth. I would advise you to see your pcp for additional recommendations regarding this issue. Take care.

Doubtful: Usually body hair amounts are inherited. Having testosterone years ago would not have caused excessive body hair.
