Rapid puberty

2018-01-06 19:31:58
Son just turned 11 and his voice has really deepened and acne developed over the last 6 months. Which seems really early for that stage of puberty. Dr said he was between stage 3-4. And recommended he see an endocrinologist. Am now worried a tumor could be causing these symptoms
