The odds are a billion to one an individual will have the extremely rare genetic mutation Hypertrichosis universalis, known as Werewolf Syndrome. In a small village near Pune, central India, three sisters have the same condition.
Daily Mail:
It is one of the rarest conditions in the world, affecting just one in a billion people.
However, in an incredible quirk of fate, three sisters have all been blighted by a condition known as werewolf syndrome – where they are covered from head to foot in thick hair.
Savita, 23, Monisha, 18, and 16-year-old Savitri Sangli, who live in a small village near Pune, central India, inherited the hypertrichosis universalis disorder from their father.
All three struggle to keep the condition under control with cream and hope they one day might eventually be able to pay for specialist laser treatment to rid them of their excessive hair.

other features seem part of the hirsuitism; broad flat nose, weak chin, prominant brow. why does it appear superficially like Neanderthal features?

I believe that this must be a genetic throwback since they do have features representing neanderthal. If true this is confirmation that homo sapiens did interbreed with the Neanderthal. I doubt that there would be any cure except for genetic correction perhaps.
