    TLDR Hypertrichosis causes excessive hair growth and can be managed with treatments like laser, electrolysis, or new topical solutions.
    Hypertrichosis is characterized by excessive hair growth and can be congenital or acquired, with causes ranging from genetic mutations to drug use or underlying diseases. Diagnosis involves clinical assessment and sometimes genetic analysis. Management varies; drug-induced hypertrichosis may reverse upon stopping the drug, while laser or electrolysis offers long-term control. In children, less invasive methods are preferred. New topical treatments like capryloyl glycine show promise in reducing hair growth. While primarily a cosmetic issue, hypertrichosis can signal systemic diseases, necessitating thorough medical evaluation. Future research into genetic and molecular aspects may lead to more targeted treatments.

      Hair loss treatments, specifically the use of finasteride, microneedling and potentially oral minoxidil. People discussed their experiences with finasteride, its effects on sexual behaviors, as well as potential solutions such as tadalafil or using other growth factor signal peptides for hope in curing male pattern baldness.

      A 31-year-old man using finasteride for a year is considering adding oral minoxidil or switching to topical minoxidil to address diffuse thinning, while also using a scalp massager and ketoconazole shampoo. Concerns include cardiovascular side effects, pet safety with topical minoxidil, and cost of telehealth services.
