Brief Answer:
Causes of excessive hair growth

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic

I have gone through your complaints and need to ask you few questions:
Are you applying minoxidil or any other medicine on the scalp?
Are you having any other ailments?
Are you taking any oral medication?

Sometimes hair growth is seen in thyroid disorders, malnutrition, with certain medications or after chronic inflammation. You need to rule out all these causes of hair growth. Thyroid disorders and inflammation can be ruled out with blood tests.

Regards
Dr Asmeet
