It is not normal for a person to have hairless armpits. There are many reasons why men do not have armpit hair due to endocrine disorders, certain mental disorders, certain skin system diseases and genetic factors.
1. Secretory dysfunctionHypothyroidism, adrenal disease, ovarian tumors, pituitary insufficiency and other diseases can affect secretory dysfunction.
2. Certain mental disordersTrichotillomania is caused by mental stress and anxiety, family factors, impulsive hair pulling, etc. It is a mental illness, and it may also be caused by the lack of armpit hair.
3. Certain skin diseasesLocal folliculitis, local dermatitis eczema, alopecia universalis, etc. are all causes of skin system diseases.
4. HeredityThe main manifestations of genetic factors are: patients may have congenital ectodermal dysplasia, congenital gonadal dysplasia, and certain chromosomal abnormality hereditary diseases such as Turner syndrome, which may lead to the patient's underarm hair not growing.
Male patients suffering from underarm hairlessness should go to the hospital for dermatology examination. If it is a genetic cause, the cause must be found out and corresponding measures must be taken. If it is a skin disease, it needs to be treated with corresponding drugs. If it is a mental disorder, it needs psychological treatment. But if it is an endocrine cause, then symptomatic treatment of the endocrine cause is required.
