A member asked:

My friend's daughter is 9 year old . her under arm hair growth ha seen started at the age 6 but no other sign of puberty till yet . is it ok.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The presence of body odor, underarm & some genital hair are controlled by the adrenal glands & not directly part of the pubertal hormones. Occurrence of these at 6y is not uncommon.Breast bud development is the first obvious sign of female puberty with an average girl showing breast bud growth by 11 and 13 considered late.
