How Can Poor Facial Hair Growth Be Treated?

I m 19, a male, who doesn t even have a noticeable mustache out in public and no facial hair. I am 5 11. With a voice I would say of a 15 year old going through puberty. My dad is 6 2 and my mom is 5 7. People always say I have long arms because they almost touch my knees standing up. My question being, is there any sign that I m still growing taller, and/ or going through puberty late?

Hi,

Mustache and beard are secondary sexual character, they generally develop around 14 years in males. More important is pubic hair.If you have not developed yet, I would suggest you should seek help now. You should meet an endocrinologist to check for any hormone imbalance.

Hope I have answered your query.
