Open in App
Solution
Facial hair growth:
Androgens are sex hormones that cause masculine traits like facial hair and granular body hair.
Androgens are produced naturally by a woman's ovaries and adrenals.
Because of higher-than-normal levels of androgen hormones, women can grow excessive body or facial hair.
