Pubic hair
Pubic hair
Pubic hair appears during puberty as vellus hair that is focally replaced by terminal hair. Men have a different pattern of pubic hair than women, but in practice it is one of degree. The distribution of hair and pubic hair varies widely between men.1 Generally, the abdominal wall, pubic mound, groins, scrotum and perineum are hairy, but the natal cleft, perianal skin, distal penile shaft, prepuce, and glans are hairless.
In females, pubic hair development starts at puberty on the mons pubis and labia majora. The adult distribution with triangular pattern on the mons, with extension to the labia majora and on to the thighs is usually complete by the age of 16โ17 years.

Fig. 12.11 Formation of the external genitalia in males and females. (A) The external genitalia form a pair of labioscrotal folds, a pair of urogenital folds and an anterior genital tubercle. Male and female genitalia are morphologically indistinguishable at this stage. (B) In males, the urogenital folds fuse and the genital tubercle elongates to form the shaft and glans of the penis. Fusion of the urogenital folds encloses the definite urogenital sinus to form most of the penile urethra. A small region of the distal urethra is formed by the invagination of ectoderms covering the glans. The labioscrotal folds give rise to the scrotum. From Bunker C. Male Genital Skin Disease.
