Lanugo
If a teenager still has Lanugo hair, they may have a nutritional or eating disorder, or hypertrichosis, where the full Vellus hair never fully develops. In the case of the eating disorders, usually the patient receiving all of their proper vitamins and nutrients will solve the problem, while Lanugo hypertrichosis will typically recede until the teen only has Lanugo hair where regular adult Vellus hair would typically grow. Alternatively, you could shave the kid.
Mowing the lawn, helps when it is raining outside.
This fine hair is called "lanugo."
Lanugo is what all infants are born with----fuzzy skin.
Prior to birth, the body is covered with a fine, soft hair called lanugo. This downy hair helps to protect the developing fetus and is typically found on the fetus's body by around 20 weeks of gestation. Lanugo is usually shed before birth, but some infants may still have it at birth. It is eventually replaced by finer vellus hair as the child grows.
It is called lanugo, the skin is also coated with a white greasy like substance called vernix and protects the fetus from the effects of being in the amniotic sac ( bag of water)
it is the hair that is formed in the baby's skin and disappears just before entering the birth canal.
