Back hair

[0707mummyof2]

DS (8 yo) has fine dark hair on his back which we have always ignored, but has recently been teased at school. Is now conscious of it..any suggestions?

Bump - any advice please?

Sorry no cure, but my child has this.
I was thinking, if it get to the point that he get teased, I would start thinking about hair removal of some sort. I was thinking about the thing we see on the TV, try something like "no-no"? Back is too big to use bleach(hair lightener) or some kind of chemical.

Thanks rainagaintoday..I thought the same..seems drastic but don't want him to lose confidence especially with sport/swimming..

My Ds hasn't started swimming at school yet, but when he does, and if he is teased or worried about it, I think I will give him a choice. At this age,
these things can be really mentally damaging for them.
I would ask him what he wants to do about it.
If he wants to, I will let him try something like "no-no", and if he doesn't want to do it, it's ok.

I think a lot of children are quite hairy( because of hormones?), but most of them are lucky if they have lighter hair colour.
