### Human:\nmy six year old daughter is getting underarm hair. is this the start of puberty? . i'm kinda freaking out here. why is my six year old getting underarm hair and b. o. already?\n\n### Assistant: she needs to be seen by her pediatrician and/or a pediatric endocrinologist. these may be signs of precocious (early) puberty so it is very important that you have her properly examined and tested.
