Thankyou for the response. I'm a little embarrassed as I realised in the dead of the night that he had henna tatoos on both forearms on our Bali holiday 3 weeks ago. The ink had worn off his skin but dyed the hairs. Obviously I already need another holiday and it has at least given my friends a a good laugh
thanks again
Sandy
Localised aquired hypertrichosis, as this is called generally occurs after trauma or injury.Cortisone application also can trigger such growth.Otherwise nothing more of worry,however do show to your doc.
