    Herice Mukelebe talks openly about life with a condition called hirsutism in which women grow thick, dark hair on their face, chest, tummy or back. Hirsutism is commonly caused by hormone disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Herice has never sought an official diagnosis and instead says she has to come to accept her facial hair.
