Facial hirsutism (excessive hair growth on face)

Facial hirsutism refers to the abnormal growth of hair on the face, particularly in women. This condition can be distressing and may affect self-esteem. It is often caused by an excess of androgens, which are male hormones also present in women. Common medications used to treat facial hirsutism include oral contraceptives, spironolactone, and eflornithine cream. These treatments aim to reduce the levels of androgens and slow down hair growth, providing relief and improving the appearance of the affected areas. Consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for each individual case.
