What Causes Excessive Hair Growth On The Body?
I am female 60 years old with course black hair on legs, under arms, upper lip, and chin. I also get breakouts on my face. Could I be producing too much testosterone? I had gastric bypass 9 years ago and weigh 180. I am post menopausal and thought the hair on my legs would quit growing. I was also diagnosed with male pattern baldness several years ago.
