To be concerned about my sons lack of body hair.

Normally a lurker but I'm on holiday at the moment and this is quite worrying me.

My son is 17 he has absolutely no hair on his body, not even armpit hair or pubic hair (he had a rash a few months ago there. He also has no signs of an Adam's apple and is very small and skinny.

You might say genetics but my family tends to be not tall but average height but well built (so is ex husbands family).

Compared to my dss who is the same age they look like they could be 5 years apart. He has hairy legs more than most men) and sideburns and armpit hair. He has a much more muscular build.

I know that puberty happens at different stages and starts earlier or later, and that we are all different but surely at 17. I think even my ds has noticed it.

Shall I get a gps appointment, but I'm worried it will give ds confidence issues.

Aibu.

17!!! Fuck me why didn't you take him 2 or 3 years ago? Not entering puberty at 17 is massively abnormal.

Not exactly helpful to the OP, is it?! Bit harsh to be calling her son out as being 'massively abnormal' as well. Jheeze, calm down.

lilybetsy is a GP and said this is not normal.

OK not helpful - I apologise. But yes GP - by himself.
