Indian Teen Sets Record for Hairiest Male Face

Lalit Patidar, an 18-year-old from Madhya Pradesh, India, has set a Guinness World Record for having the hairiest male face, with 201.72 hairs per square centimeter due to a rare condition called hypertrichosis, also known as 'werewolf syndrome'. This condition, which causes excessive hair growth, is extremely rare with only about 50 documented cases globally. Despite facing initial fear and negativity from peers, Patidar has embraced his unique appearance and shares his life through a YouTube channel. His record was confirmed through a meticulous assessment on the Italian TV show 'Lo Show dei Record', where a trichologist measured his facial hair density. Patidar remains unfazed by suggestions to remove his facial hair, asserting that he is comfortable with his appearance. He expressed immense joy and gratitude for the recognition, stating, 'I am speechless, I don't know what to say because I'm very happy to get this recognition.'
