Yes: The age and hormonal changes that cause head, armpit and chest hair to get grey, also causes pubic hair to turn grey as well.

Question 2

Advancing years: Maturity. All hair tends to become white or grey with advancing years in most people. Armpit ; pubic hair is not different in this regard.

Varies: It may be the last to turn--many in their 70's have only a few.

Question 4

It probably: has no relationship with your overall health, if that is the only "symptom", some people just start to go gray sooner than others.

Question 5

No: Hair pigment changes as we age. No rhyme or reason to it.

Question 6

i have gray itchy patches right where my pubic hair is( close to the vagina) any idea what it is / how to treat it?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluated: I would be concerned about possible early genital warts and I would see a gynecologist or at least your family doctor to take a look.

Question 7

6-8 of the hair follicles on the base of my penis in the pubic hair region have raised a bit and turned darkish-gray or black? genital warts?

Accepted Answer

Possible cysts: Hard to say without more history and seeing photos of these lesions, but they could be due to clogged hair follicles - black color could be due to oxidation or old blood.  I cannot rule out possibility that these are genital warts or something else.  Go see your clinician asap for an exam, tests if needed, and appropriate management.  Take Care.

Question 8

how do i get rid of pubic hair?

Accepted Answer

Simply: Shaving them off and you have to be careful about razor bumps that can get infected with complications which cause  more trouble.  There are hair saloons that will do the job for you for a nominal fee. You have to ask them if they have that service available

Question 9

should i shave my pubic hair before a pap?

Accepted Answer

Only if you want to: The pap smear is assessing your cervix lining and has nothing to do with your pubic hair.  After that, it's a personal style/fashion question, and you don't need a doctor for that one.

Question 10

how can i do hair removal on my pubic hair?

Accepted Answer

Alma Soprano Laser: Safest, most effective way is to have a qualified doc or their technician, with state of the art technology do a series of treatments over time, to get the best results.  Laser works best on thicker, , growing hairs- which preferentially absorb the energy  of selected wavelengths > the surrounding skin/ tissue.  Doing 5 to 8 treatments over 18 to 24 months should give you a 70+% improvement.
