Doctors can prescribe several successful treatments.
Almost all women have the same number of hairs on their bodies and faces as men do. However, the male hormone, testosterone, makes a man's hairs thicker, darker and longer, causing a man's facial and body hairs to be more noticeable. All women with hairy bodies and faces should check with their doctors. Some may have normal amounts of testosterone and inherit this tendency toward darker hairs. Others may have a tumor or medical condition that causes their bodies to produce large amounts of testosterone.
