    Question

    I'm an 18 year old male and I have a very thick layer of hair covering my buttocks and even growing on the shaft of my penis. I also have an abundance of moles all over my body. Is this possibly a hormone disorder or am I just unlucky?

    Answer

    The only one who can tell would be a dermatologist - make an appointment and ask. S/he can also discuss laser hair removal options if it really bothers you. Good luck!
