In a few months or so it will probably disappear as that hair grows out more.
I can't for the life of me imagine how or when his hair could have gotten pulled out. I would think that would be something I would have noticed. It makes me sad just thinking about it! He was 11 weeks old when we got him and he is 1 1/2 years now and I don't ever remember anything like that happening. I guess the positive news is that you think it is just a pigmentation change. I don't really care about the color change, but knowing it isn't a sign of something else or that it could be painful makes me feel better. Thanks for the info!
