"   Question I have been very hairy all over my body since about 20. In the last two years the growth has increased dramatically on my arms, back and testicle area.  I am very uncomfortable with this and embarrassed in public baths. Is there any drug or procedure that can remove or stop further hair growth?   Answer  Unfortunately the increase in body hair may simply be a family trait.  Occasionally it can be the result of a hormone imbalance and, because you&amp;#039;ve experienced an obvious change, it would be wise to seek medical advice and possibly get a hormone profile blood test, particularly considering adrenal hormone production. Certain medication may stimulate increased hair growth, particularly cortisone and certain hypertension treatments like Minoxidil and Diazoxide.  Unfortunately in the majority of cases a simple cause is not found. There are several methods of hair removal:  Certain drugs cause hair loss such as antiandrogens or prednisolone, but they are not specific to certain areas and would not be recommended in your case. Depilatory creams may help, and your pharmacist can advise you on these.  Individual hair removal is also available by electrolysis.
