👉 The term "therodont" is a medical term that refers to an abnormal growth of hair in the scalp, usually occurring on the face and neck. The exact cause of this condition is not fully understood but it is most commonly associated with certain medical conditions such as alopecia areata (a disorder where the body produces too much new hair) or autoimmune disorders. Therodont can occur due to several factors, including genetics, hormonal changes in puberty, stress, infections, and even certain medications.
