What Causes Hairs To Grow At An Exponential Rate On The Sole Of Foot?

The other day I noticed a sharp pain on the sole of my left foot. I figured it was just a scratch and that it would go away but the pain worsened and the following day I examined my food. To my surprise, I noticed a hair strand about an inch long and small, circular red sore. The hair strand didn t look like the hair on my head nor hair that looks like those that are on my legs and arms. It looks more like the hair underneath my armpits and the hair around my private parts. The hair looks scruffy and brown. I was able to pull the hair easily, but the pain on the sole of my foot is still there. Do you know what causes hairs to grow at an exponential rate on the sole of your foot?
