hair all over the body of my 18 month old daughter

Hi,

My daughter is now 18 months old. when she was born we saw light small hair all over her body and thinking that to be lanugo we did not care about them; however now those hair have grown into long body hair and are spread all over her back, shoulders, arms and forehead. can you please suggest what should we do? can this be Hereditary  as I have a very hairy body? if yes then can this be cured?

Possibly but it is more likely a hormonal imbalance. a doctors appointment might be needed?
