A member asked:
Hi i have execessive hair on my all body and face is this a cause of hirutism and how can it be treated permanently?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hirsutism: It is hirsutism, not a cause of hirsutism. Diet, exercise, weight loss and medication can help, but won't remove the hair that already exists, only prevent new hair growth. Permanent hair removal requires laser or electrolysis. See your doctor for an evaluation soon.
