Random long black hairs on my arms and shoulders

[Anonymous]

Ok so every 3 or 4 months I get some random long black hairs on my shoulders and arms..i just pull it out and it comes back few months later..its like half inch..is this ok? and please don't answer "your just getting old" and don't tell me to go to the doctor because I wouldn't ask on here if I wanted to go to the doctor

You're normal. My boyfriend gets these too. They are long enough for my tiny fingers to pluck them. He has light skin and hair but he has had quite a lot of these long dark hairs on his arms, chest, shoulders and even neck.There's only a few at one time. I wouldn't be concerned about this. You're probably going to get more and more until you have chest hair like a lot of men. You can always wax it if you don't like it or if it gets too thick.

I seen guys which one inch long hairs on their chest lol screw that, I'll take the waxing pain instead of looking like bigfoot's brother

Ahaha agreed! I hope it doesn't hurt too bad if you wax!

I already was my legs and my chest tho so its fine..but don't have much hair on arms and shoulders..thats why those random hairs are so noticeable

Just pluck the ones that you see and don't worry :)

[questioner1991]

yea, that is normal. If you don't like the appearance just pluck it every few weeks. You do not need to go to the doc for that at all. If you do not like it you could go to a dermatologist and get it removed by laser but it is totally normal most people do have random hairs you just wouldn't know because people do not announce this.

Totally normal! I notice them on my boyfriend all the time, and he's healthy as a horse. I'd say just leave them alone and let them do their thing. You're a man, and men are supposed to have a little bit of fluff. Otherwise, they would all look like wrestlers...who just look weird.

yes, cancer of the sphincter by the sounds of things or maybe you're finally becoming a man? most likely becoming a hairy man ape like the rest of us, welcome to the club

As far as I know it is not a symptom of anything serious.

Wait long black hairs are rainsoy growing? Is your hair naturally black? Are you using any hair growth products ?

[stillagoodgirl]

Maybe your taking too protein in your diet

[Asker]

Like you mean too much of protein?

[Kellyht01]

Either hair regrowth formula or did you shave?

[Asker]

I don't shave where they come out from
