it is a genetic disorder
Since one X chromosome in each cell is randomly inactivated at some point during development, a woman heterozygous for hypertrichosis would have varying regions of patchy hair if the alleles responsible for the trait were located on the X chromosome. Variation would look similar to the varied tortoise shell coat color pattern on female cats, where the presence of yellow and black (red and gold/blue and cream) is controlled by X chromosome inactivation.
Hairy ears disease, also known as hypertrichosis aurium, is a condition characterized by excessive hair growth in the ears. Symptoms may include increased hair in the ear canal and on the outer ear. Treatment options for hairy ears disease may include trimming or shaving the excess hair, laser hair removal, or topical medications to slow hair growth. Consulting a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and personalized treatment plan is recommended.
Human werewolf disease, also known as clinical lycanthropy, is a rare psychiatric disorder in which individuals believe they are transforming into a werewolf or another animal. Symptoms include delusions of transformation, altered perception of body image, and behavioral changes like howling at the moon or acting aggressively. Treatment typically involves therapy and medications to address underlying psychological issues.
"Werewolf Syndrome" has been classified as lycanthropy. Lycanthropy is the disease in which you believe you are turning into a wild animal, although physical symptoms are not present. there is also a different definition to werewolf syndrome, in which the person has a genetic defect/ mutation. this mutation is rare and this is all it really means: instead of the person only growing hair on their head, they also grow it on their face and possibly arms/legs. this is not to be confused with normal body hair. the hair actually is quite similar to the hair on an average person's head. These people, other than their appearance, are completely normal.
Hypertrichosis is an extremely uncommon condition, only 50 people in the world currently live with it.
There are several depending on the type. Congenital hypertrichosis lanuginosa may be caused by an inverse mutation on the 8q chromosome. Congenital generalized hypertrichosis has a dominant pattern of inheritance and has been linked to chromosome xq24-q27. Congenital generalized hypertrichosis terminalis is thought to be caused by genetic changes on chromosome 17. The gene MAP2K6 may be a factor contributing to this condition.
Hypertrichosis is a rare condition that causes excessive hair growth on the body. It can affect both men and women of all ages. In some cases, hypertrichosis may be present at birth or develop later in life.

Minoxidil, a medicine for preventing hair loss, is thought to trigger acquired localized hypertrichosis. It is one and only way to medicaid from hypertrichosis.
Hypertrichosis is what is called the werewolf disease. This was first found with a Mexican family where hair was growing from most of the hair follicles from the body, including the face.

No! Werewolves are myths that people have their own views on, and what some people have put in books, TV shows and films. Hypertrichosis is a disease where hair growth on the body in an amount considered abnormal. And although extensive cases of hypertrichosis have been called werewolf syndrome it does not mean that they are werewolves.
Hi Per Try Ko Siss
Hypertrichosis is a condition in which there is an abnormal growth of hair on a person. It can be a congenital condition or a person can get it later on in life. Since there is no cure for this condition, its management can involve diagnosing the causes and prescribing medications or hair removal treatments.
