Androgens: Hair growth of this kind in both sexes is from the hormone dh-t (dihydro-testosterone, ) which usually means your testosterone levels are high too. This can be for alot of reasons, in women pcos is a common one. It's not the only one though, you should definitely see an doctor in person for this.
