since I'm not sure you'll get to the patient website, here is an extract "Adrenarche (ad-ren-ar-ke) is known to be an ordinary bodily process that happens to boys and girls as they begin to make the transition to being a teenager. It is a development that happens before puberty, usually between the ages of 6 and 8. During this time certain hormones (biological messengers) begin to increase and may either go unnoticed or can cause changes in the body like new hair growth.
""Androgens from the adrenal gland may cause a variety of things to begin to happen to the body including:

An effect on hair-producing cells causing some children to experience their first pubic hair and/or armpit hair growth.
An effect on the glands that produce sweat as well as the glands that produce an adult body odour, meaning some children may notice their body beginning to smell differently.
Additionally, some children may notice a change in their skin as these hormonal changes can result in a kind of Acne called micro-comedonal acne.
They can also have an effect on mood and cause mood swings and tearfulness.
Do children experience all of these changes?
Everybody is different and some children may notice several changes during adrenarche, others may not notice anything different and some may experience only one or two differences.

It is important to know that it is as natural to experience all of these changes as it is for a child to experience none. Occasionally the term 'premature adrenarche' is used when these changes are experienced a bit early (around 5-6 years) but despite this it is not actually thought to be out of the ordinary."
