What Causes Growth Of An Extra Long Hair On Eyebrows?
Hi, can I ask you a health question? Sometimes my eyebrows grow hairs or a hair that is so annoying. When ever I rub my brows I feel the one hair iratating me. When I pull that hair out it feels fine but then it grows back. Why is it doing this and how can I prevent it from growing these hairs?

Hello,
Doctors refer to androgens as male hormones, though both men and women produce them. When the female body produces too many androgens, it may develop more body hair than is typical.
Several medical conditions can cause the body to produce too many androgens. PCOS is the most common cause of excess body hair in women.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Monish De, Oncologist
