Elderly male going bald on chest and underarms. reason?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need evaluation: Low testosterone in older men can cause a decreased amount of body hair. I would suggest an in-office physical exam to see the extent and pattern of this hair loss to explore other causes as well.
