use 
of 
proper 
terminology 
is 
confusing, 
yet 
important, 
in 
describing 
excess 
hair
growth. 
Hypertrichosis 
is 
the 
presence 
of 
increased 
hair 
in 
men 
and 
women 
at 
any
body 
site. 
Hirsutism 
is 
defined 
as 
the 
presence 
of 
excess 
hair 
in 
women 
only 
at
androgen 
dependent 
sites. 
Hirsutism 
is 
most 
commonly 
seen 
on 
the 
upper 
chin,
chest, 
inner 
thighs, 
back, 
and 
abdomen.

However, 
both 
hirsutism 
and 
hypertrichosis 
are 
ultimately 
believed 
to 
occur 
as
a 
result 
of 
disturbances 
in 
the 
hair 
cycle. 
In 
both 
conditions, 
prolonged 
anagen 
phase
is 
associated 
with 
the 
conversion 
of 
vellus 
to 
terminal 
hair.

Hirsutism 
is 
caused 
by 
diseases 
of 
androgen 
excess 
or 
by 
the 
intake 
of 
certain
medications. 
The 
most 
common 
causes 
are 
polycystic 
ovary 
syndrome 
(PCOS) 
and
idiopathic 
hirsutism. 
The 
diseases 
of 
androgen
