Teen With “Werewolf Syndrome” Set Guinness World Record for Hairiest Face.
Lalit Patidar, 18, of India, was born with an extremely rare (one in a billion) condition called hypertrichosis. According to DermNet, hypertrichosis—also known as werewolf syndrome—“is excessive hair growth over and above the normal for the age, s*x and race of an individual.” This can impact the entire body or just small patches, and it might be present at birth or acquired later in life.
