Hypertrichose

Abstract

Hypertrichosis denotes growth of hair on any part of the body in excess of the amount usually present in persons of the same age, race, and sex, excluding androgen-dependent hair growth. Hypertrichosis may be an isolated finding or associated with a syndrome, be associated with additional congenital anomalies or a marker for systemic disease. In order to diagnose it accurately, the age of onset, type, localization and pattern of hair growth, associated disorders, medications and perhaps associated anomalies and family history should be considered. Even though hypertrichosis usually has limited medical significance, it often causes cosmetic embarrassment, often resulting in a significant emotional burden. Treatment options are available, though limited in terms of efficacy and patient satisfaction. No single method of hair removal is appropriate for all body locations and patients, and the one adopted will depend on the type, area, and amount of excessive hair growth, as well as on the age, sex, and personal preference of the patient. Patients with hypertrichosis should be adequately advised of the treatment modalities. These include cosmetic procedures (bleaching, trimming, shaving, plucking, waxing, chemical epilatories, electrosurgical epilation), and hair removal using light sources and lasers.

“…Muchos de los que la padecían eran asociados dentro de las complicaciones de esta patología, se deben tener en cuenta las implicaciones estéticas y cosméticas. Es necesario realizar una buena historia clínica, para suministrar un tratamiento adecuado al paciente, incluyendo, la eliminación del vello con láser (Trüeb, 2008), con el propósito de disminuir la estigmatización, que hacían que estos pacientes salieran en la noche como lobos (Bénézech & Chapenoire, 2005), aunque las medidas de rechazo, en esta época, no son tan violentas como en la antigüedad. Licantropía clínica.…”

Hipertricose como Marcador Subfenotípico de Retardo Neurológico e Neuromotor

“…O hirsutismo refere-se ao crescimento exagerado de pelos especialmente em mulheres e em locais com dependência androgênica (Pavone, et al, 2015;Saleh, et al, 2020). Comumente, essa condição pode ser confundida com hipertricose verdadeira, logo deve-se fazer a distinção dessas doenças por se tratar de duas condições diferentes (Pavone, et al, 2015).…”

“…A hipertricose é classificada em diversas formas, tanto pela sua base etiológica (adquirida ou congênita) quanto pela sua localização (localizada ou generalizada) (Trüeb, 2008). Ademais, a classificação clínica pode ser feita de acordo com o pelo que prevalece-Lanugo, velo ou pelo terminal (Trüeb, 2008;Saleh, et al, 2020;Hafsi & Badri, 2020;Hoover, et al, 2020).…”
