What Causes A Limited Growth Of Facial Hair?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type you
I'm a 31 yearold caucasian male. Although I have hair on my legs, buttocs, arms and pubic area I have a very limited growth on my face. I have some hair on my chin but no sideburns. I know this s not the same as suffering from cancer, but my selfesteem is suffering as I dont feel 100% man.

Could additional tostesterone be prescribed?

Many thanks,
John

Hello,

I would recommend you to get your serum testosterone levels checked and then start with testosterone if found deficient.
