Youngest DD, aged 7 has had body odour for the last six months, I'd read a bit about it and understood that it could be a sign of early onset of puberty so have been keeping a beady eye for any other symptoms. Noticed yesterday that she's started developing underarm hair. Spoke to the doctor this morning by phone and initially he said it was nothing to worry about and we should just wait and see but to go back if she starts her periods! When I pressed him to try and get him to explain what could be causing it he said that they could do a blood test to check her hormone levels. Eldest DD is almost 13 and puberty progressing normally but she hasn't started her periods yet.
Have scared myself silly looking at internet and now feeling upset and worried, anyone here been through this?
