Teenager’s Pubic Hair Growing in White
hi,
I am 14 yr old male with a patch of white pubic hair. The area with the white public hair is also a bit fair and different from other. I just wanted to know if this is normal or not. Is it a side effect of something or a disease? Will the hair become black or not?I have shaved my pubic hair, but it itched very much. Even the new hair grew white. I am not close with my dad and I am not comfortable talking to my mom about this. Is there some treatment or medicine?
While 14 years old does sound pretty young, this can be an hereditary thing and there is really nothing that you can do. Shaving the area will usually result in it itching when it is regrowing, so that isn’t entirely surprising. I wouldn’t be concerned about the white color, and it doesn’t mean you have a disease or a side effect.
I’m no doctor, but I had a friend growing up (I was 13-16 years old when I knew him) and he had a white patch of hair. To my knowledge he was healthy, although overweight. He was a good basketball player.
Also, one thing that I’ve learned throughout my life is trusting your loved ones with the most awkward things ends up being helpful. I’m just a guy on the internet so what do I know, but from my experience family is everything. I obviously don’t know your family situation but that is just my recommendation.
That brings me to my final point: don’t trust everyone on the internet with your personal information. This site and Dr. Rassman are great but not everyone on the internet is who they say they are!
Be careful!
