body hair


Explanation:
Ihokarvoitus is body hair... however, it can be shortened to just hair in some instances. In the web reference below, you can find a bunch of "Body Hair Removal products"... saying that, "hair removal" is also used.

....mutta tuo Tarjan "alopecia" kuulostaa hienolta... kayttaisin ehka sita, ennen kuin "loss of body hair".
