Hairy hand!

[B00]

I've just come back from physiotherapy on my wrist to be told that what I thought was a quirk from wearing a plaster-cast for 8 weeks was in fact my hormones going doolally.

My wrist and hand have developed hairs, and I don't mean soft blonde downy hairs, I mean really noticeable dark ones! He warned me that unless I use my wrist more it will get worse- Mr Boo said it'd be cool, like wearing a mitten permanently (!)

Anyhoos..........

I didn't ask my physio bloke at the risk of him looking at me like I was simple (ok, more simple then) but does anyone think it would be ok to use some sort of hair removal cream on it?

Hello BOO!

Don't worry - the hair will disappear. A few years ago I had a cast covering my right arm from the fingers to the shoulder for nearly nine months - and when it was removed I burst into tears as I looked just like a black gorilla!!
It's something to do with the nerve endings.....anyway, it will go on its own so don't even think of using a razor or depilatory creams, otherwise you will end up very, very hairy ;-)

Hey hiya Cetti, long time no see, hope you're well? Always good to hear from you :-)

Yes that's it, the physio guy did say it was something to do with the nerve endings, I remember now, lol. A cast for 9 months? Holy crap I thought I had it bad with 8 weeks, cant imagine 9 months of it!!!

So I'll bow to your wisdom then- i'll leave it alone, will just wear jumpers till it matches my other arm again!

How about holding it up to your face, maybe the moustache will disguise it ;o)
