The conversation is about a user experiencing excessive hair growth on their body due to using topical minoxidil and dutasteride. The suggested solutions are shaving off the excess hair or considering laser epilation. It is mentioned that dutasteride does not cause extra hair growth, while minoxidil can stimulate hair growth in unintended areas. The user is advised to lower the dosage, concentration, or frequency of use and only apply the treatment to the desired areas.
