This period begins at age 12-16
- Sharply might increase height and weight;
- Penis continue to grow and enlarge;
- Skin of the penis becomes darker or more red;
- Testicles continue developing, therefore they also become bigger;
- Hair around genitals get thicker and darker;
- Hair starts to grow on a penis and scrotum.
Some boys during this period have their chest turn more sensitive and harder, they might also swell a little bit – it’s normal and you shouldn’t worry about it, in average within a year it disappears.
With a beginning of pubic hair growth on penis and testicles, little “pimples” show up under the skin – those are glands or hair bulbs and most of the men have such a “pimples”, so that is not a reason for worries.
Boys might have increased formation of smegma (cottage-cheese like formations under foreskin) which might cause unpleasant itchiness and smell from penis – that’s why it’s so important to pay attention to personal hygiene. Genitals should be washed once a day in warm water with soap. Head of the penis should be washed by pulling foreskin off, only with warm water every day and with soap – once a week. It would be recommended to change underwear once every day or at least once in two days.
