Thank you and I look forward to your reply.First question supplement: 32, two or three months ago, I noticed a few strands. I'm confused and don't understand why, and I'm also scared.
Doctor's answer:
Yes, the common causes of white pubic hair include nutritional, psychological factors, systemic diseases, and some forms of albinism, among others. The pathogenesis is related to a lack of melanin in the skin. If there is local inflammation, it is recommended to follow medical advice and actively treat the inflammation. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions.
