I don't agree with their statement that hair on the lower arms and hands is heriditary, and will not respond to drug treatments. No woman in my family has this but me! Mine showed up at the same time as the hair on my face in my mid-20s. Since I've been taking Met, the hair on my lower arms is quite a bit thinner.
