Causes of Unusual Hair Growth Problems

There are several causes of hair problems. The three primary causes are congenital, topical and systemic.

Congenital

Congenital means you were born with it. An example of genetics would be that people from the Mediterranean area have a tendency to be more hairy.

Topical

Topical implies a chronic topic stimulation that increases the blood supply and causes hair growth. An example of this would be having a cast on your leg. The chafing/rubbing of the cast on your skin causes the stimulation.

Systemic

Systemic is the distribution of hormones that can stir up the hair cells to life. Examples are puberty, pregnancy and menopause. This is the most common cause of a hair problem. If you feel you have a hormonal imbalance and have an excessive hair pattern, LRHRC recommends seeing your physician prior to electrolysis and/or laser treatments.

Other causes include medications, stress and endocrine disorders. Disease and skin grafts can also be causes of unusual hair growth. Whatever your cause...
