What Causes Hair Growth Under Feet?

My mother has hairs growing out of the bottom of her heel. They usually show up one at a time and she plucks them out. She has shown these to me before she s plucked them and they look like a regular hair like on your arm or face. She says that they hurt (like a splinter) when she walks but they are definitely not a splinter. Any ideas?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Hair growth on skin of soles and palms is highly impossible. It may be something else. Consult the dermatologist personally. And get diagnosed properly.
