Hypertrichosis in darker-skinned individuals is characterized by excessive hair growth that may be more noticeable in areas where hair growth is not typically prominent, such as the face, arms, or back. The condition can be congenital or acquired, sometimes linked to medications, hormonal imbalances, or underlying medical issues. Treatment options include laser hair removal, electrolysis, or topical creams like eflornithine to reduce hair growth, depending on the severity and underlying cause.
