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).
Congenital generalized hypertrichosis has a dominant pattern of inheritance and has been linked to chromosome xq24-q27.1. An affected female (carrying the hypertrichosis gene) has a 50% chance of passing it to her offspring.air in hypertrichosis is usually longer than expected and may consist of any hair type (lanugo, vellus, or terminal).
