Reduced body hair is a condition in which a person has less body hair (hair that is not necessarily scalp hair, facial hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, or axillary/pubic hair) than he had previously. Reduced body hair is good if the person is doing things to try to be less hairy, but is a problem if there is a medical condition (such as alopecia) causing hair loss.
