Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry
Detailed Answer:
HeEloHello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone through your query.
Hair growth cycle has 3 phases: Anagen or growth phase, Catagen or transition phase and Telogen or resting phase. Hair is lost once it enters the Telogen phase.
The duration of these phases varies at different sites. Telogen can last for months before the hair renters the growth phase or Anagen,when new hair appears.
Therefore you have nothing to worry about.
Regards

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
I think you have nothing to worry about this temporary lack of hair growth. They would eventually appear.
MORE THAN THE ABSENCE OF HAIR, ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN SIZE, SHAPE, COLOR, OR SYMPTOMS OF ITCHING OR BLEEDING ARE MORE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN A MOLE, THAT SHOULD AROUSE SUSPICION.
