A skin tag, also known as an achrochordon, is a benign growth of skin that is connected to the body by a short stalk. Skin tags are found most commonly on the armpits, neck, and groin. People who develop skin tags tend to get more as they grow older. Skin tags can be surgically removed.What causes skin tags is unknown, but they do appear more frequently in areas      where the skin is rubbed by clothing or by other body parts, such as in creases like      your underarm. They also tend to appear in hot, moist places such as under the      breasts, between the thighs, or around the genitals.

You've heard of a person's hair standing on end when they are frightened or otherwise emotional? You've seen how an animal's hair stands up when cornered or when cold? For humans, although most parts of our bodies don't have much hair anymore (well, most of us), the goosebumps occur where the hair follicles used to be and they are trying to make those hairs stand on end. When you're cold the same thing happens because standing hair is a better insulation than hair laying down.

I would say it is a sign of self-hatred. Hair is very important for one self-esteem and when that is gone..a preclude to the ultimate act of self-loathing.\n\nMany movies who show disturbed young people (like in Wild Orchid) also show them cutting their head off upharzardly. A sign of rebellion also in some cases, I would say.

The root of every strand of hair is surrounded by a tube of tissue under the skin that is called the hair follicle (say: fah-lih-kul). Each hair follicle contains a certain number of pigment cells. These pigment cells continuously produce a chemical called melanin (say: meh-luh-nin) that gives the growing shaft of hair its color of brown, blonde, red, and anything in between. \n\nMelanin is the same stuff that makes our skin's color fair or darker. It also helps determine whether a person will burn or tan in the sun. The dark or light color of someone's hair depends on how much melanin each hair contains.\n\nAs we get older, the pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die. When there are fewer pigment cells in a hair follicle, that strand of hair will no longer contain as much melanin and will become a more transparent color - like gray, silver, or white - as it grows. As people continue to get older, fewer pigment cells will be around to produce melanin. Eventually, the hair will look completely gray. \n\nPeople can get gray hair at any age. Some people go gray at a young age - as early as when they are in high school or college - whereas others may be in their 30s or 40s before they see that first gray hair. How early we get gray hair is determined by our genes. This means that most of us will start having gray hairs around the same age that our parents or grandparents first did. \n\nGray hair is more noticeable in people with darker hair because it stands out, but people with naturally lighter hair are just as likely to go gray. From the time a person notices a few gray hairs, it may take more than 10 years for all of that person's hair to turn gray. \n\nSome people think that a big shock or trauma can turn a person's hair white or gray overnight, but scientists don't really believe that this happens. Just in case, try not to freak out your parents too much. You don't want to be blamed for any of their gray hairs!

Its an individual thing.  Some guys feel like a girl who doesn't have a significant amount of fur down there looks like she's underage.  Some like it bald because it looks cleaner.  Some like it shaved with just a tightly trimmed little patch, especially if the girl has piercings.  Personally, that's kinda what I like because I'm less likely to get a hair down my throat at the wrong moment!

The nerves are in the skin - so you only feel it when it's pulled out.\n\nThe hair itself is an excretion of dead cells which don't have any nerves in them.\n\nSimilarly for nails.

Could be for several reasons - first thing to do is check out your relatives. It could run in the family.\nThen you should check how the hair falls out. If there are circle shaped spots where the hair is gone - then you should see a doc about it.

It happens when you become older, as in senior citizen.  I'm 65 and part of my barber's routine is to buzz the hair out of my ears.  Looks like he** and I hate it, but oh, well.  It started growing in my fifties.

The hair follicles are different on each part of your body.  All areas grow at different rates.  And it does keep growing on your arms, just very slowly.  \n\nTry shaving your arms or waxing them.  You'll find that the hair comes back, but to that same length.  So it is growing.

Some hairs are equipped with tiny muscles that can make them "stand on end" for example when a dog suddenly barks right behind you.  You get goose bumps when these muscles act together too erect hairs are too small to easily see like on your arm or leg.  Tiny hairs on the face must not be very muscular.
