Hello ma'am and welcome.

Haha, as is with all age-related things with the human body, hair growth becomes more dense and wide spread as we enter our youth and is at its peak during this period. As we grow older, our hair growth and its dense widespread nature gets weaker and as is in many males (bald headed ones at least), pubic hair also gradually reduces and at times completely ceases.

Nothing to worry about at all. Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
