Ok. So for the past few days/weeks, I've noticed these hairs growing on my stomach, in my stretchmarks. Small, white hair. But, unlike any other hair, when I pull these, there is NO pain. And looking at it up close after its pulled, it is small strands of something fiber like. But white. And maybe can be described as almost feathered? Very curiousa help please!

Hello,
It can be due to small sebaceous cyst and the white thing can be due to keratin plugs in that. A sebaceous cyst is a closed sac occurring just under the skin which contains a "pasty" or "cheesy" looking substance called keratin. I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
