So of new borns often have a ~90mm flaccid penis at birth, and he is 1cm erect...

I wonder if he was born with an even smaller penis, or if his penis just literally never grew.

I'm about to sully my search history and look this up, but I would imagine there are hormone treatments you can get at a young age.

Edit: short answer. Yes it can help in some cases. Micropenis is often detected in infancy. And seemingly often caused by very low testosterone levels during development

In the US, due to a shitty health care system, men usually self-medicate at a later age with a giant pickup truck or a douche sports car.

"or" should be "and" as Musk is also in the files.
