The Werewolf Syndrome

The Werewolf Syndrome Given above is an image of  Larry Gomez who was born with hypertrichosis, which results in abnormal hair growth all over the body, including the face. It can affect both women and men, but it’s extremely rare. The abnormal hair growth may cover the face and body or occur in small patches. The main cause of this syndrome has not yet been discovered but according to doctors this syndrome runs through families with their genes. Hypertrichosis has no cure, and you can’t do anything to prevent the congenital form of the disease. Only thing that can be done is waxing or shaving.
