Hypertrichosis is a rare and curious condition that causes excessive hair growth anywhere on a person's body. Hypertrichosis is sometimes known as werewolf syndrome.
Hypertrichosis may be confused with hirsutism. Hirsutism is a more common condition that causes women to grow coarse hair in areas that men typically do, such as on their chin.
