    Talking What happened to my forearm? (not martial arts related..sort of)

    This morning.... while I was looking at kfo I looked down at my forearms and noticed that there was a patch of hair missing (no I'm not that hairy) on one of them that is about the size of my palm!! What the heck is that supposed to mean? Was I abducted by aliens where where I was subjected to some sick shaving ritual? Or is my forearm suffering from premature balness! Noo my arm is too young to go bald. It's only 20.

    lol seriously though anyone know what this is about? It could be from doing elbows on pads but the last time I did that was last week where I did this elbow drill with my classmates on a kicking shield. Would any one care to elaborate?

    Don't know if it helps but after my last surgery I got a few bald spots on the back of my dome. The docs just gave me a few injections (cortisone I think) in the spots and the hair grew back in a couple weeks.

    And try using wraps instead of duct tape when you hit the heavy bag.

    I dunno. I was just giving you a difficult time. You should probably have it checked out. Sounds pretty freakish to me.

    lol ok. It's nothing bad really. Not like theres a rash or something and it's not noticeable unless you look at it really close. The skin feels smooth but if I see anymore have missing from anywhere I'll definitely go look at it.

    Try masturbating with your forearms and the hair might grow back there.

    You will possibly tend to become depilated on areas of your skin that are abraded often. Knees and elbows are classsic examples. If that's what's happening to you, I would guess the 'bald' area is part of the arm you regularly use in your MA.

    Come to think of it. I did have to turn some ribs in the oven a while back for my mom. It was very hot too so that makes good sense.

    David is alot correct there.
