I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Pubic hair and underarm/armpit hair (medically known as axillary hair) appears when the adrenal glands increase production of a hormone called dhea. This hormone also causes body odor and sometimes mild acne. This part of puberty is called adrenarche. Adrenarche is usually normal in girls who are at least 8 years old, and boys who are at least 9 years old. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
