Which term is not used to denote excessive and abnormal hair?

Hypertrichosis
Hyperdrosis
Hirsutism
Polytichosis

The correct answer is: Hyperdrosis

The term "hyperhidrosis" is actually used to refer to excessive sweating rather than excessive hair growth. This distinction is important in the context of terms related to hair conditions. Hypertrichosis refers to an abnormal amount of hair growth on the body, beyond what is typically expected. Hirsutism specifically relates to excessive hair growth in women in areas where men typically grow hair, such as the face and chest. Polytichosis is characterized by the presence of multiple hairs emerging from a single follicle. By understanding these definitions, it becomes clear that hyperhidrosis does not relate to abnormal hair growth, making it the correct answer in the context of the question.
