My 6 1/2 year old girl has quite a patch of longer, darker axillary hair. Doesn't have pubic hair or breast development... She has always been tall for her age--but both parents are too (5'10" & 6'3"). I didn't really link this until reading up a bit, but she started having strong sweat odor at about 5 y.o. She also has a sleep disorder that we finally saw a pediatric sleep specialist for-- now she uses a blue spectrum light every morning. Occasionally, we use Rozerem 8mg (prescribed by the peds sleep specialist) --but only occasionally when we are unable to do her light therapy. Is there any connection between sleep disorders & early adrenarche? And is this adrenarche when it is only her axillary area involved? I discussed the early axillary hair (there was only one at the time) with her pediatrician at ther six y.o. check-up. Since she didn't have any pubic hair or breast development, she didn't think there was reason for concern. Since then the hair growth & numbers have acellerated....Should I be concerned? I'm going to call her pediatrician too, but wondering if there is any possible relationship with the sleep issues & this early hair growth, etc.
Thanks for you opinion!
