I had a cast on my arm for my broken wrist on for 12 weeks. After the ?ast my arm was a lot hairier than my other arm. Now after 2 months it is still more hairy. I want to know how to get the same hair growth and amount of hair on both arms.

The skin under the plaster cast is subjected to tiny amounts of friction as the cast moves. The friction is not enough to rub away hair, but it is enough to stimulate the hair follicles in the skin to produce new hairs. You may need to discuss it in more detail over a call to get a right and effective medical consultation. Thanks.
