How to remove hair from skin images using opencv?

I am working with recognition of skin spots, for this, I work with a number of images with different noises, one of them are the hairs, because it has images with enough hairs over the area of ​​the stain (ROI). How to decrease or remove these types of image noises?

the code below it decreases the area where hairs are, but it does not remove hairs that are above the area of ​​interest (ROI).

import numpy as np
import cv2

IMD = 'IMD436'
# Read the image and perfrom an OTSU threshold
img = cv2.imread(IMD+'.bmp')
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
ret, thresh =     cv2.threshold(gray,0,255,cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV+cv2.THRESH_OTSU)

# Remove hair with opening
kernel = np.ones((2,2),np.uint8)
opening = cv2.morphologyEx(thresh,cv2.MORPH_OPEN,kernel, iterations = 2)

# Combine surrounding noise with ROI
kernel = np.ones((6,6),np.uint8)
dilate = cv2.dilate(opening,kernel,iterations=3)

# Blur the image for smoother ROI
blur = cv2.blur(dilate,(15,15))

# Perform another OTSU threshold and search for biggest contour
ret, thresh =     cv2.threshold(blur,0,255,cv2.THRESH_BINARY+cv2.THRESH_OTSU)
contours, hierarchy =     cv2.findContours(thresh,cv2.RETR_TREE,cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE)
cnt = max(contours, key=cv2.contourArea)

# Create a new mask for the result image
h, w = img.shape[:2]
mask = np.zeros((h, w), np.uint8)

# Draw the contour on the new mask and perform the bitwise operation
cv2.drawContours(mask, [cnt],-1, 255, -1)
res = cv2.bitwise_and(img, img, mask=mask)

# Display the result
cv2.imwrite(IMD+'.png', res)
cv2.imshow('img', res)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
