Stubble Trouble? - Hair Problems Message Board

Hey,
im 16, almost 17 and can only grow stubble on my upper lip. the only thing that grows is my moustache and a little under my bottom lip. Its not long cause i shave it but im just wondering why i dont have sideburns, or stubble on my chin or sides because all i have there is small amounts of fuz. I mean, i know my body, and puberty set in 4 years ago, so im kinda wondering why im at least not getting stubble, let alone start growing a beard.

Could it possibly be a thyroid related issue? Since thats been popping up on my radar for a while.

Thanks,
Hunter

Dont be in such a hurry to shave it's a pain. When I was your age some of my friends had full beards and some had no hair at all. Twenty years later of the people who had no hair some have full beards and some have very little. Consider yourself lucky if you have no facial hair you may not get the other issues that come with it...Hairy nose,back,***,ears. in regards to the medical question just search it specifically unless a docter cna help you.

Shavin aint really a pain, i mean i shave my moustache all the time so it doesnt grow back, but its just weird that all that peach fuzz aint thickening out...
