A member asked:

I have blonde hair all over my body, but recently i noticed a few dark hairs growing only on my ankles. should i be worried?

No: I don't think you should worry. Hair pigment may change due to skin irritation like tight socks or shoes around your ankles. If it is more than a few you can see a dermatologist for more information. Good luck.
