Hey I was wondering about this I didn't really think about it until recently. I am almost 19 y/o (Male) and as for facial hair.. it doesn't happen when my voice changed i think that it is still stuck half way it crackles sometimes. another thing that i have noticed is that as for body hair on my arms and legs that also hasn't really happened. If someone could give me some helpful info i'd appreciate it. I am going to try to get set up for a levels test soon, and i was wondering if there was anything that i coul do now or if it was to late. thanks in advance

Get your total testosterone, free testosterone, FSH, LH, & Estradiol E2 tested.

The you get a copy of the tests for your records.

The doctor can then compare the results to see if your testosterone is low, or your estrogen is high, or both.

He will probably size yor testicles. They should be over 1-1/4" in diameter.

Hormone imbalance can cause low body hair growth. Either by low testosterone, high estrogen, or both.

anti-depressants can mess up your hormones.

There can be other reasons for lack of body hair, such as extra female chromosomes. It occurs in about 1 in 500 male births.

Good luck.
