Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Black Hair Growth Over The Fracture Site?
Hello. I fractured my distal radius in February. It was not pinned and has not healed. The end of the bone is out of alignment by at least 15 deg. I am waiting to see a specialist in September. My query is, why is there black hair growing over the fracture site? I am a 55 year old female and very fair skinned.
The growth of black hair over the fracture site is not related to the fracture. This is a skin related change. Do consult a dermatologist for examination and proper treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
