==Abnormal childhood virilization== Virilization can occur in childhood in both males and females due to excessive amounts of androgens. Typical effects of virilization in children are [[pubic hair]], accelerated growth and bone maturation, increased [[muscle strength]], [[Acne vulgaris|acne]], and adult body odor. In males, virilization may signal [[precocious puberty]], while [[congenital adrenal hyperplasia]] and androgen producing tumors (usually) of the [[gonad]]s or adrenals are occasional causes in both sexes.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Virilization: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia|url=https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/002339.htm|access-date=2020-10-23|website=medlineplus.gov|language=en}}</ref>
