Hair growing around scars ?
 
Around my scars and cuts on my wrist I have started to get hair grow. I wear hairbands constantly around it to hide it but why is it there and how do I get it back to the way it was?

It is possible that that hair growth and the scars and cuts are not related. Maybe your body chemistry has changed since you began to self injure. I know that I started to grow more hair on my legs recently and I am almost 30. You would have thought that would have happen about 15 years ago.

I have heard that if you pluck hairs often enough from the follicle they will stop growing back.

I think the same as the above really. It won't be anything to do with the hairbands or the cuts. It could however be due to a hormonal imbalance so if your periods aren't regular or have changed then it may be worth talking to your GP about that.

Some people's hairs do stop growing if you pluck them enough if damage has been done to the hair follicle, though really this doesn't tend to happen to most of the hairs in most people because not enough damage is done to the area.
