Pressure
hypertrichosis
Hypertrichosis can be promoted in areas under physical pressure
such as under a cast or any pressure from any work or recreational
activity where weight is applied to a part of the body for a long
time. For example, This pressure may act in the same way as physical
trauma and promote a very mild injury to the skin and hair follicles
that then respond with hair growth.
