How do you get rid of 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.
