Is this too young?

My daughter is 8 and already has dark pubic hair on her vulva. She is white and has auburn hair.

Is this too early? Would you see your gp or just accept it as part of growing up for her?

Has she got any breast development?
8 is within realms of normal for puberty

No breasts but tbf she’s a skinny Minnie! I didn’t get breasts till about 17. I think I’m confused as I was late with everything!

It is quite early, but the NHS defines the normal range of puberty onset as 8-13, so probably nothing to worry about.
