Regarding hair and skin

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Decreased sweating and hair growth rate could be related e.g in hypothyroidism therefore I suggest you to take a blood test for thyroid. Apart from that androgenetic alopecia in males is a very common cause for reduction in hair growth rate and density.
