Question 2

Time for evaluation: Any girl who has not started by 15 needs to see a pediatric endocrinologist for a workup.Her regular doc could do some basic testing but that is just to get things going while you wait for an appointment. There are various genetic and structural issues that must be explored and it will take some time.

Question 6

normal to not grow lots of pubic hair and you are 16 and male?

Accepted Answer

Depends on family: The amount of pubic hair, body hair, and facial hair a teenager gets (and when he gets it) is mostly genetically determined. That means he will likely follow the pattern of his father and older brothers. So, he should talk to his doctor if his brothers and father had lots of pubic hair by age 16, yet he himself has little or no hair. Annual check-ups are needed for following puberty changes.

Question 8

i have a concern, i have lot of hair around my bikini, i mean lots of pubic hair, and thats because i shaved it once. what is the best way to remove.

Accepted Answer

1st of all it's : Supposed to be there. Mother nature and biology has it there for a reason. Only our culture has decided it shouldn't be there. You can trim or shave or wax to remove it. But it will grow back. You can try laser hair removal but it takes several treatments and typically makes the hair finer and lighter in color but there is always  some hair.

Question 9

Keep it clean: This is not a good place for bandages or even liquid bandages like nu skin. It will heal but you need to keep it clean in the mean time. Try washing off with a squirt bottle of water after using the toilet  and then dry with your hair dryer on a cool setting.
