What is Hypertrichosis characterized by?

Baldness
Excessive hair growth anywhere on the body
Patchy hair loss
Change in hair color

The correct answer is: Excessive hair growth anywhere on the body

Hypertrichosis is a condition that is characterized by excessive hair growth on the body. This means that there is an abnormal growth of hair in areas that are not normally associated with hair growth. This condition can cause excessive hair growth anywhere on the body, and it is not limited to just the head. This makes option A, baldness, incorrect. Option C, patchy hair loss, is also incorrect as hypertrichosis is the opposite, causing excessive hair growth rather than hair loss. Lastly, option D, change in hair color, is also incorrect as hypertrichosis does not change the color of the hair, it only causes excessive growth. Therefore, the correct answer is B, excessive hair growth anywhere on the body.
