Is It Not Advisable To Shave In 13 Years Of Age?
hello doc, my name is james when I was 12 13 i was in cadet camp. My sgt gave me orders to shave when I only had peach fuzz. 6 months down the road I started growing a full beard my doc told me not to shave because it would mess up my pituitary gland and would stop growing. is this true?

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query.
No, this is absolutely not true and shaving has no anything to do with hormones, pituiary glands or growing. So you can shave as much as you want if you have this need. You wil grow as long as your puberty last.
I hope I have answered you query. .Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
