The normal amount of body hair for both men and women varies. Most of the people only have fine hairs above the lips, chest, abdomen, and back. In general, excessive/ unwanted hair is a harmless condition. But many may find it bothersome, or even embarrassing.

The common causes of unwanted hair growth include:

- Idiopathic (unable to identify)

- Male hormones (excessive male hormones may stimulate unwanted hair growth)

- Medicines (anabolic steroids, testosterone, minoxidil)

- Medical conditions (tumour of the adrenal gland/ovary/ Cushing syndrome/ hyperthecosis)

Temporary hair removal

- Shaving (do not cause more hair to grow, but the hair may look thicker)

- Plucking/ waxing (fairly safe and inexpensive; it can be painful and there is a risk of scarring, infection and/ or skin darkening)
