Hi everyone,

My problem is: I am 19 years old (nearly 20) and i have very little facial hair growth. I only have hair above my lip and a tiny bit below. I have no beard whatsoever. People say i am lucky to have this problem but it makes me look so young and hard to do my job. I have hair everywhere else a part from my arms and chest. Could this be low testostrone and should i vist my gp or will he just tell me to go and wait. My dad has a full beard and has lots of stubble by lunch time.

Thanks for your serious advice in advance.

Chris

I had kids before my beard came in.

Yes, it could be low testosterone or high estradiol E2.

Low dose HCG injections can correct the low testosterone.

If you have a thick fat layer it is probably high estradiol E2.
1/2 tablet of Arimidex twice a week will help with the E2.

If you have boobs, research Klinefelters Mosaic Syndrome.
