Hypertrichosis

Hypertrichosis (Ambras Syndrome or Ambras Syndrome) is a disease that manifests itself in excessive hair growth that is not characteristic of this area of the skin, does not correspond to gender and/or age.

Clinically, there are congenital (general and limited) and acquired forms of hypertrichosis.

Depending on what stage and where exactly the disease is located on the body, there are two types of hypertrichosis:

  • general, when uniform hairiness gradually covers the entire body of the patient. It can only be innate. It is formed from germinal hair that could not pass into infant fluff;
  • local – the hair grows too thickly and intensively only on one area of the skin. It can be divided into subspecies: anterior thoracic; facial; lumbar; nevus – when separate moles containing too much melatonin (the hormone of skin color) are covered with hard, coarse hair.
