    Glossary Axillary Hair

    hair growing in the underarm area, starting during puberty

    Axillary hair, commonly known as armpit hair, refers to the hair that grows in the underarm area. It typically begins to develop during puberty due to hormonal changes, specifically the increase in androgens. This hair serves various functions, including reducing friction between the upper arm and the torso, and playing a role in the dispersion of pheromones.
