A lot of times it runs in families and is characterized as familial or there is no identifiable cause in which case it's called idiopathic hirsutism. Simple tests and rarely more elaborate tests are required to eliminate a more ominous cause. It can be treated with long term oral medication(s) and/or topical treatment(s).
