What is hormones have to do with a four-teen year old female having/growing a beard?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Types of hormones: There are different types of hormones. Some produce mainly "man" effects - testosterone, other androgens. Others produce mainly "female" effects - estrogens, etc. But both sexes produce all types of hormones. If you are female and your body is producing too much androgens compared to Estrogens and other female hormones, you can get "male effects" like you describe. Very comon in women with pcos.
