Suggest Treatment For Hair Growing Patch In Hand
Hi..I just noticed today that my 14 month old little girl has a patch of long/dark hair (the size of a half-dollar coin) growing on her arm. The skin under the hair is raised a little. I never noticed this before; its like it showed up over night!

Hi,
It seems like hairy nevus which usually doesn't require any treatment. If there is a significant increase in the size or rapidly growing, then I would suggest you get a dermatologist opinion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nirubhan Bharathy, Pediatrician
