Unexplained hair growth

by WorstThingEver, Jun 30, 2006 12:00AM
I am a 21 year old male and have never been really hairy.  Just recently i have noticed that hair has started growing on my upper arms, my shoulders, a lot more on my back, starting to grow on the inside of my bicep and inside of my forearm.  I know guys get more as they get older but i just feel like the hair is growing in places that i shouldnt get hair and i feel like i get hairyer everyday.  Is this normal or can there be something causing this?  I have had my harmone levels checked a little while ago and im not taking steriods or testosterone although i have taken testosterone in the past (like 5 months ago) but never expierenced increased hair growth.  Or could it be like a tumor on a gland or something like that?

Hi,When you took the testosterone a few months ago it slowed down or stopped your own production.Now that some time has gone by not only has your production kicked back, in but it made your production be more than it was before so you are growing more hair .It happens more than you might think!Good luck.
