Dear TeenHealthFX,
Is it normal to have a hairy anus around that area? Is it in both men and women?

Dear Curious About Hairy Anus,
It is normal to have hair on the anus and that area. Like any of your pubic regions like your chest and armpits, you will grow hair. Your butt and your genital area are no different. Some men have very hairy chests, arms and legs depending upon their genetics. These men will likely have more hair in the anal region as well.
If you have hair in this region you are not alone. Both men and women get hair on and around their anus and it is completely natural.
