I noticed something different with my dd 5's arms...

[Jann in TX]

She has recently developed patches of long dark hair on both of her arms near her elbows...patches are about 5 inches long. This dd has blond hair (should turn brown in the next few years) and fair skin. The majority of hair on her arms and legs are shorter and much much lighter.

Oldest dd has also commented about the difference recently.

Is this anything unusual? WELL THAT WAS A DUMB QUESTION!
Is this anything to be concerned about or am I just being paranoid because she is my baby and my teen girls don't like to cuddle anymore...

Well, I do think it is unusual, the thing is, is it worrysome? I would call your pediatrician's office and explain what you see and that you would like the doctor let you know if it warrants a visit.

Good luck!

This is a sure sign that I need to go to sleep. I just misread your post "my dd's 5 arms."

I have never heard of anything like this, but I would think it warrants a call to your doctor.
