Hi, I have a 2 year old little girl who has had pubic hair and slight breast tissue for about a year now. We have taken her to the pediatric endocrinologist and have had blood tests, bone age tests, ultrasounds done. All have come back ok. She has now developed under arm odor. What could be the cause of this?
