Lanugo is a thin, "peach-fuzz" like hair that gorws on the skin. It is often light colored, and commonly found on the back, chest, arms, and face. People who are severly underweight or do not have proper amounts of body fat are at risk of growing this form of hair. It is, essentially, the body's primal instincts as a last resort to stay warm. Body fat provides a layer of insulation to the body. Internal organs and core body temperature must maintain a fairly constant temperature. If it drops too low, a person is in danger of hypothermia. When the body cannot keep itself warm enough, it will grow this extra layer of hair. This is similar to how animals have thicker coats of fur in the winter to help keep them warm. While people have evolved beyond growing long coats of fur in the cold weather, it is still a natural instinct to survival to help try in any way possible to keep the body warm and alive.
