Excessive hair growth is called hirsutism when it occurs in women, characterized by male-pattern hair growth in areas such as the face, chest, and back. In general, excessive hair growth in both men and women can be referred to as hypertrichosis. These conditions may stem from hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, or certain medical conditions. Treatment options often include medications, hormonal therapy, or hair removal techniques.
