Are Fine Vaginal Hair In Infants Normal?

Hi, my 8 month old has fine hairs on her vagina that we think she has had since birth. I took her to the GP who was'nt sure what it was but thinks they should dissapear. Another friend doctor has said these hairs are not a concern and many babies have. I am still panicking though

Pediatrician, Surgery 's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Fine lanugo hairs are normal in female baby. If you find more darker skin , child needs to be worked up, I suggest you to consult either pediatric surgeon or endocrinologist.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing your child good health.
