im 18 and im wondering if im going through
late puberty/if i should see a doctor. I
do have hair on my penis and a little bit
under my arms, but other than that, im
completely bare. my voice has gotten
really low, and i have grown a decent
amount, but this lack of hair anywhere
concerns me.

Maybe you're just not naturally hairy. I'm
22 and am not that hairy besides the usual
areas but more and more chest hair seems
to appear every year. Besides the
immediate pubic areas, body hair may start
to appear later on in life, into your
thirties. I wouldn't be too upset anyway.
A lot of people like a body that isn't too
hairy.

The amount of body hair you develop is
hereditary. Some people are just prone to
more hair. Not much you can do about
genetics.
