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).
What causes hypertrichosis? The cause of hypertrichosis is unknown. Congenital hypertrichosis is believed to be a genetic disorder that is inherited or occurs as a result of spontaneous mutation. Acquired hypertrichosis lanuginosa sometimes occurs in people who at a later stage are diagnosed with a cancer of some form.
