    TLDR β-interferon injections for melanoma can cause excessive hair growth at the injection sites.
    The document reported cases of excessive hair growth around local β-interferon injection sites in patients treated for malignant melanoma. This observation suggested a potential side effect of β-interferon therapy, which might be relevant for dermatologists and oncologists managing similar treatments. The findings highlighted the need for further investigation into the mechanisms behind this localized hypertrichosis and its implications for patient care.
