Brief Answer:
Perfectly normal changes with age, nothing to worry about sir

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. With age, there can be a change in pigmentation causing a decreased amount of hair in all regions of the body, and at times even a change in tone and/or shade of the hair, this is a perfectly normal process seen with ageing and should not be a cause for concern sir.

I hope you find my response helpful sir. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
