HIRSUTIES Meaning and Definition

1. Hirsuties, commonly known as hirsuties papillaris genitalis, is a medical term used to describe small, harmless, and asymptomatic protuberances that typically appear on the corona of the glans penis or the inner surface of the labia minora in females. These small, flesh-colored or pinkish protrusions are composed of thin, finger-like projections, resembling tiny papules or bumps.

   Despite their distinctive appearance, hirsuties are considered to be a normal anatomic variant rather than a pathological condition. They are observed more frequently in males, especially during puberty, but can also be found in females. Hirsuties are harmless and generally do not cause any discomfort or pain.

   The development of hirsuties is believed to result from the accumulation of oil and dead skin cells around the openings of the oil glands on the affected area. They are non-infectious and are not contagious, meaning they cannot be transmitted from one person to another.

   It is important to differentiate hirsuties from other conditions such as genital warts or sexually transmitted infections. Unlike genital warts, hirsuties do not pose any health risks and do not require medical intervention. However, if there is uncertainty about the diagnosis or if the growths become bothersome or cause aesthetic concerns, it is advised to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and advice regarding potential treatment options.

2. The presence of an unusual amount of hair, or of hair in unusual locations.
