Dear TeenHealthFX,

The answer

Yes, it is completely normal. Believe it or not, most people do grow hair around their anus (butt crack). It is completely harmless and will not hurt you. Some people choose to remove it and others leave it alone. If you decide to remove the hair, we strongly encourage you see a hair removal specialist. Do not attempt to remove it yourself.
