‘net zero information’ of the day: was wondering why i have so many hairs that are actually two hairs in the same follicle and apparently it’s ‘pili multigemini’ which is a ‘rare developmental disorder’ except the one paper i’ve found that actually looked for it (rather than discovering it incidentally) found that every single participant had it to some degree, yet every website talking about it still says it’s rare. a bunch of them also recommend their skincare products for preventing it so wow shocking

#personal #from the sounds of it i have a lot more of it than average but it’s very normal #interestingly it can lead to folliculitis (acne basically) which i’ve only had trouble with since being on t #BUT apparently pili multigemini is equally common in men and women (according to that one study) which would suggest it’s not linked to t #and it’s supposedly not just a thing for thicker body hair because it said it was harder to find in women due to finer hair #although i guess i would hypothesise that maybe thicker hairs make acne more likely #that’s probably something that i could easily find a study on but i’m not bothered rn #this is all random speculation idk #but like. all these things calling it a ‘disease’ when it’s something that everyone has 😭😭😭😭😭#obviously i leaned something here but the ‘net zero info’ thing refers to finding out it’s a rare disorder
