Patient's question:
My daughter is now 6 years old. A few days ago, I noticed that the hair on her lips has grown a bit longer and has become a little dark, as if she is growing a beard. I don't know if this is related to her diet or if it's a medical condition. Should I take her to the hospital for a check-up, or will it be enough to just pay attention to her diet?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend, you said your child was born recently, and there are small black lip hairs on the upper lip. In the case of your child, it is considered to be influenced by maternal hormones. Over time, the lip hairs will gradually fade and disappear. If you are still not at ease, it is recommended that you take your child to the local hospital for a follow-up check of their detailed endocrine and hormone levels.
