		Vellus hair, also referred to as "peach fuzz," is a very soft and short type of hair that grows on most parts of both the male and female human body.
		Vellus hairs generally do not grow more than 2 cm in length and are not attached to sebaceous glands, which are found in the skin of humans and other mammals.
		During puberty the rising level of androgens causes some vellus hair to transform into terminal hair, most often in areas such as the under arms, genital areas, legs, and forearms.

		Eruptive vellus hair cysts (EVHC), first reported in 1977, are characterized by 1-3 mm, skin-colored papules on the chest and extremities [1].
		Eruptive vellus hair cysts may be attributed to abnormal development of vellus hair follicles, either making them susceptible to blockage or leading to a disruption of the attachment between the proximal and distal ends of the follicle [1].
		Eruptive vellus hair cysts have been noted also in patients with pachyonychia congenita [6], anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia [7, 8], Lowe syndrome [9], and chronic renal failure [10].

		Androgenic hair is the hair that greatly increases in heaviness and rate of growth with puberty.
		For example, it is not unusual for a young girl to be taken to a pediatric endocrinologist because her mother is distressed by the heaviness of the girl's arm and leg hair, but this condition is never due to a disorder of androgen excess if pubic hair has not appeared.

		Although vellus hypertrichosis is common in some ethnic groups, such as people of Mediterranean extraction, some women find the dark but relatively short and soft hairs cosmetically bothersome.
		Remember that in the early stages of hirsutism (that is, in an adolescent patient) many of the hairs may still be in the preterminal stage (not yet "terminalized" or converted to terminal hairs), with an appearance similar to vellus hypertrichosis.
		If the clinical findings suggest simple vellus hypertrichosis and the patient is not taking any medications that may be associated with this problem, then a thyroid profile may suffice.

		As opposed to vellus hairs, they are produced by follicles with sebaceous glands.
		At the base of the hair follicle is the dermal papilla, fed by capillary blood vessels to supply oxygen, energy and the amino acids needed for growth.
		The dermal papilla is sensitive to male hormones (androgens) that regulate hair growth and in scalp hair may cause the hair follicle to gradually shift to the production of vellus hair instead of terminal hair in individuals who are genetically predisposed to this type of hair loss.

	European Hair Research Society - Abstract
		The results from the three biopsies from each subject were averaged and statistical evaluations performed on the meaned values.
		It is possible that there is also an increase in the number of follicles in a latent stage of telogen but this was difficult to assess from our data.
		The fall in total follicle counts with stabilising of the T:V ratio suggest that miniaturisation does not stop with a vellus follicle but may progress to follicular deletion.

		The increased androgen converts vellus into terminal hair - the same process that normally occurs in a boy at puberty.
		However, so long as the hair is vellus (which is usually is), it is normal though it may be unsightly.
		What is really occurring is that increased androgen takes a hair follicle that was originally programmed to produce a vellus hair and transforms it into a follicle that produces a terminal hair.

		The etiology of eruptive vellus hair cysts is unknown.
		Esterly et al[1] suggested that these lesions arise from an abnormality in the development of vellus hair follicles that predisposes these follicles to occlude at the infundibular level.

		Some will be normal healthy terminal hairs with an average diameter of 0.06mm, others will be miniaturized vellus hair follicles with an average diameter of 0.03mm.
		So, one parameter of androgenetic alopecia is a decrease in the density of terminal hairs and an increase in the vellus hair count.
		Beneath the miniaturized vellus hair follicle a fibrous tract, known as a streamer or follicular stela, can be observed marking the terminal hair follicle bulb’s original position to the base of the current vellus hair dermal papilla.
