Body hair in females. What’s normal?
I’ve done some research but it’s kinda been all over the place. I read some websites that tell me it’s normal, and others that say it’s a sign imbalanced hormones? I’m still in my teen years and barely have hair on my arms or legs(not enough for me to want to shave).I do have armpit hair that I pluck and I’ve also noticed that I have little black hairs all over my stomach and some around the nipples. It’s somewhat noticeable because they’re black. I’m not too sure what’s concidered normal and what’s not. Any ideas?

There really is no normal for body hair. This is your normal. You'll likely get more hair on your legs if you only have a few under your arms that you pluck. Once you shave, you'll start to notice it more. But you just have what you have. If you grow hair on your chin-- that's not very normal and could mean you have too much testosterone. But overall, you don't describe anything abnormal. good luck
