Clinical signs are often characteristic, consisting of an abundance of facial hair across the upper lip of human males. True moustachitis cases are seen to be clean-shaven at the beginning of November but very hairy by the end of the month.

==Diagnosis==

==Diagnosis==

A diagnosis of moustachitis doesn't need any expensive tests - generally a look at the upper lip is sufficient. Imaging in the form of photographs may be used to further confirm the disease and then help publicise it's spread.

==Treatment==

Generally no treatment is required, although supportive wives/girlfriends do help. Many of these moustaches seem to disappear at the end of November or beginning of December.

==Prognosis==

==Prognosis==

The prognosis is generally good with these cases, depending on the severity and awesomeness of the moustache. In more advanced cases there may be feelings of loss and/or incoordination, coupled with a cold upper lip once the disease has resolved. Fear not - there's always next year!
