Fine blond hair on DS (7) scrotum

[worried333]

I have name changed for this.

Just noticed some blond hairs on my DS's scrotum. They seem quite fine but there are quite a few. Is this normal?? I have googled and it seems to be abnormal or precocious puberty…now I am really worried

Can anyone reassure me before I take him to the doctor???

This seems very early for anything like that, my son is 13 and has absolutely no hair at all in that area, Anyway, I can't imagine it is causing any problems or pain so I wouldn't take him to the doctor if I were you. Just wait to see if it grows thicker/longer :)

Thanks.
Anyone else? I wish I could ask my friends about their DSs but obviously I cannot possibly!!!!!

It sounds like normal skin hair to me. Like all humans have. I don't really know but I would expect fine short hairs to be fine. Pubic hairs are longer and I wouldn't worry if I were you.

You won't be wasting your Gps time if you want to go, but I think it sounds normal.

My daughter has had similar for years. , she's 10 , no sign of pubic hair yet

Thank you

I had another surreptitious look today (don;t want to make him paranoid so I pretended to drop something on the floor when he was undressed for his bath ) and it really seems very light and fine. I'm going to leave it for now but kind of keep an eye on it. He has very hairy legs (white-blond hairs), and always has done, perhaps he's just particularly hairy!

i have 3 boys and they all have this, think it's normal!

but please do go to your GP if you are concerned, that's what they are there for!
