I have very less facial hair compared to other men

Dear Doctor: ?

Dear Patient: Hello,rate of growth depends upon the growing capacity of hair root which will be determined by the food you take and the genetics of your hair.
while the density of hair also depends on the distance between your hair roots which will inturn depend on your genetics.
what i am trying to explain is that less rate of growth and less density are not pathological.
but if there is a delayed erruption of hair that it started forming after 18 and if it is associated with other delayed or abnormal puberty signs like absence of axillary hair,small size of testis,not possessing libido,then you have to consult an endocrinologist .
