As men age, hormonal changes, specifically an increase in dihydrotestosterone (DHT), can cause hair to grow in unusual places like ears, nose, and even shoulders. This happens because DHT stimulates dormant hair follicles in these areas. While it’s completely normal, regular grooming tools like nose trimmers or tweezers can help manage it. If it feels excessive, consulting a dermatologist may provide solutions such as laser treatments or medications to slow the growth.
