Could Axillary And Vagina Hair In 6-8 Year Old Kids Be Related To Puberty?
i am a deeply concerned mom..our two kids have seen a pediatric endocrinologist . our 8 yr old son( will be 9 this month) has some mild axillary hair. our 6 yr old dtg has some mild vagina hair. both are very tall, bone scans close to 2 yrs ahead. we were told the labs were all normal and the physician assures us that the hair is not puberty related. w are just are deeply concerned and have considered a second opinion but that takes 6 months... any suggestions??

could be signs of precocious buberty and other endocrine problems and should be evaluated further with an endocrinologist.
