Abnormal Hair!
Is it normal to have hair between your breasts and around your belly button?
If you’re sprouting hair “down there,” some might also crop up around your belly button, upper lip and, yes, breasts. “Around 11 or 12, certain hair follicles respond to hormones surging through the body,” explains gyne- cologist Dr. Adelaide Nardone.
“Hair that’s not in your armpits or pubic area should be very fine, even if it’s darker,” adds Dr. Nardone If it’s coarse, show your doctor—you could have a treatable hormonal imbalance. But a little fuzz is normal, even if some girls get more than others.
If your fur freaks you out, bleach it (Sally Hansen Crème Hair Bleach) or use a hair remover (Nair).
