What Causes Thick Hair Growth And Itching On The Forearm?
Hi, I am 59, female. over the years I have lost the hair on my arms (I am of Spanish & French descent), I just noticed that the hair has grown back fairly strongly on my left forearm. My skin is also quite itchy. I thought it could have been caused from using my stemcell moisturizer (for my face) on my arm, is there anything else I should be alert to or aware of?

isolated keratinisation of skin is unusual, but since you mentioned about using stem cell moisturiser it can be, the only issue with it is that you use it on the face and not on the forearm
is there darkeness around the hair growth if not there is nothing to worry
