What Causes Growth Of Dark Hair In Place Of Blonde On Itching Site?

my left forearm was super itchy with needle like prickling and warm to the touch on and off for about 3 months. My doct said it was just contact dermatitis and not related to iron deficiency and to put moisturizer plus peridodically OTC cortizone to stop the itching. I did put moisturizers on and also cold compresses. The cold compresses were the only thing that made the prickling and intense itching go away.

Now the itching on the left forearm has subsided but I have an entire new coat of very dark hair on top of my sparse blonde hair that used to be there.

The itching is now going to my left bicep area and at the front/middle of my collar bone.

Weird I know but what in the world is the doc missing, if anything?
