Question

Is the appearance of a small amount of pubic hair at 10 years old a sign of precocious puberty?

Answer

Hello, based on the situation you described, if a 10-year-old child starts to show a small amount of pubic hair, it could be due to precocious puberty. Most often, this is a part of normal development and typically does not cause significant issues. It is recommended to observe for a while and wait for the child to grow a bit more; their development may naturally improve without the need for medication. I hope this helps, and wish you and your child good health and happiness!
