Is it normal to have a very long random hair pop-up on the inside of your foot?

Has this ever happened to anyone? The inside of my foot was killing me tha last few hours and I figured it might be a blister or something because I had been on my feet for 10 hrs and couldn't take my shoes off to check. So I get home a little bit ago and there's a really thick, long (1.5 in) hair coming out of the inside of my foot. The even weirder part is the majority was just under my skin and I could see it. It hurt like pulling a long splinter out but it was really tender and fortunately did not break under the skin so I was able to pull the whole thing out. It was tough to pull out too, it didn't want to come. I didn't know hair even could grow there and this happened overnight. Has anyone experienced anything like This? I

    I get a few of those on the top of both feet, and my toes. I epilate them. It's not completely pain free, but on me it's such a small area that I can handle it. If épilation is too much, I use hair removal cream like Veet.

    Luckily mine don't seem to be ingrowing like yours, but I guess the skin in those areas is particularly sensitive to hormones that influence hair growth?

    I have a feeling hair like that is affected by hormones in a menstrual cycle

      You may be on to something there actually with the hormones because I'm right there in my menstrual cycle. I've heard of that happening to people but that long hair was always white and somewhere on their face. Thanks!

        I get a couple under my chin and on my neck. I tend to notice then more right before I start bleeding or during my period.

        Like... I'll just be causally looking at myself then suddenly these little dark hair will come into eyeshot.
        I get hair on my upper lip too and am trying to figure out how to deal with it

      I would really hope not. I know how much those fuckers annoy me and I wouldn't want to be doing that to someone. Hmm...but then again there are a few people I wouldn't mind pissing off lol

    Aha! You are obviously suffering from the dreaded Bigfoot syndrome. Next will come a maddening urge to wander the Alaskan outback while avoiding shitty cameras. You will grow a itchy suit of phony hair. And want to survive on maggot infested dead moose carcasses. You be Injected with the crying Jimmy Kimmel vaccine asap! Your life depends on it! Hurry!

      Ha ha that was one of my first thoughts! I was thinking I might be turning into Bigfoot, but I don't even think Bigfoot had hair growing on the inside of his feet. Maybe some strange hybrid? Thanks for the laugh, and I guess my mystery still remains!
