A member asked:
I have a few silver, thin and very long hairs on my thigh and upper back. what causes these?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair issue: Hair grows continuously. We don't normally trim our back hair. That's probably it's so long. Some parts of our body have thinner or thicker hair. It is all genetic. Why is it silvery? I am not sure in your case but again it appears to be genetic as well. I don't think what you described is outside of normal.
