Hypertrichosis can be congenital or acquired. The acquired condition is usually caused by an illness or drugs. Illnesses that might cause this condition are hypothyroidism, malnutrition, AIDS, dermatomyositis (a connective tissue disease), and porphyria cutanea tarda (a condition involving enzymes).
Hypertrichosis is excessive hair growth over and above the normal for the age, sex and race of an individual, in contrast to hirsutism, which is excess hair growth in women following a male distribution pattern. Hypertrichosis can develop all over the body or can be isolated to small patches.
