Patient's question:
I recently noticed that my child's lower body has started growing a small amount of hair, which is brown and fuzzy. There is one strand that is longer and black in color. Is this normal? Is it precocious puberty?Doctor's answer:
For the situation you mentioned above, this is normal, not precocious. For this situation, we need to wait and see, as children may exhibit such behaviors after entering puberty. This is also normal, so there's no need to worry too much—just maintain a light diet. Hello, generally, children start developing sexual characteristics around the age of 12, and by 11, development may still be subtle. If the characteristics are not prominent, there's no significant issue.
