POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Having some hair in the genital area of a newborn is generally considered normal. This is often due to maternal hormones that can affect the baby before birth. However, here are some points to consider:
### **1. **Normal Hormonal Effects:**
- **Maternal Hormones:** Newborns may have some fine hair in the genital area due to exposure to maternal hormones during pregnancy. This usually resolves on its own over time.
### **2. **Monitor for Changes:**
- **Hair Changes:** Observe if the hair changes in density or pattern. It is usually not a cause for concern if the hair is fine and sparse.
### **3. **Consult a Pediatrician:**
- **Evaluation:** If you notice any unusual changes, such as excessive hair growth or associated symptoms like redness or irritation, it’s best to consult your pediatrician to rule out any underlying conditions.
In most cases, this is a normal and temporary condition. If you have specific concerns or notice other symptoms, a pediatrician can provide reassurance and guidance.
