Hairy hand!
44 Answers
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?

The physio likened it to a gardener 'forcing rhubarb'.
I returned to my usual habit of 'wet-shaving' but must admit that these more robust hairs were noticeable for quite some time after.
I think any light depilatory cream would be suitable although you may find yourdelf having to use it for a while :o)

That's a tempting idea Goodsy, might give that one a whirl. Anything that doesn't involve me putting an effort into doing it gets my vote- lol.
I have to admit to being really deflated over my plastercast coming off. I fully expected (obviously naively) for my arm to be back to 100% and I certainly never expected to my wrist and hand to look bloody hairy!
