Dear Questions 4 u,
Before I'll start to answer, please let me refer you again to the
disclaimer on the bottom of this page: "Important Disclaimer: Answers
and comments provided on Google Answers are general information, and
are not intended to substitute for informed professional medical
[...]". As you'll see later, this could be a symptom for more serious
problems, and it would be advisable to consult with a physician.
Excessive, abnormal, facial and chest hair is usually linked to
endocrinal hormonal problems. This could range from relatively
"simple" problems, such as abnormal excessive release of male
hormones. This could be also linked to serious problems, such as
tumours blocking certain glands. Other reasons could be gene-related,
or associated with side-effects of certain medications taken. If there
are hormonal problems, it might be linked to increased or decreased
sexual drive ("horny"), but this is not necessary. As for the question
if it will go away with time - it really depends on the causes and the
nature of the problem, besides having excessive hair.
