Hair on the genitals... - Rare Disorders Message Board

I am a 20 year old male and I have a very embarrassing problem. The problem is that I have hair on my penis, and by saying that I mean above the testicles and just before the area below the head. There are also little bumps around the girth of the penis diagnosed as hair follicles by my doctor. The hair is not thick like regular pubic hair but smaller like arm hair and a little patchy. My doctor said that my condition is somewhat rare and she couldn't think of a solution right off hand. Being a reasonably self conscious person, I am very concerned about this and have allowed it to interfere with my love life (or lack there of as of late). If anyone knows of a cure or some kind of treatment for this I would be absolutely and positively grateful.

Have your doctor check your adrenal system. Or have her/him send you to an endocronologist. It might be worth looking into.

There are certain adrenal disorders that can produce things like unwanted hair...in unwanted places.

Hope this helped.

I have the same thing, it's never caused me any problems.. I have shaved it before, just use a fresh razor and some sensitive skin shaving creme and be extremely careful

It does not matter. It falls under the same category as size and shape. You want a women to love you for who you are not your private parts. Hair will not effect how you are able to function or anything else. Any woman to judge you or hold that against you is just not worth being around.
