What Causes Sudden Loss Or Armpit Hair?
I have recently noticed that just about all of my arm pit hair is gone. I don t know how long it took to get this way. I have never had an abundance of facial or body hair and it doesn t seem to have affected other areas. I am a 64 year old white male.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might be suffering from alopecia aerata.
It is an autoimmune disorder characterised by loss of hair at particular places of body.
There is nothing to worry as the condition is self limited.
If it does not resolve in a month steroid injection might be required
A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
