Signs of precocious puberty in young boys include penile changes and the growth of pubic hair. If a boy experiences precocious puberty, certain symptoms may appear around the scrotum, such as penile growth, scrotal enlargement, darkening of the skin around the scrotum to varying degrees, and increased pigmentation—these are typical manifestations of male precocious puberty. With male precocious puberty, pubic hair will begin to grow, the frequency of penile erections will significantly increase, and ejaculation with sperm production will gradually develop.
