im not quite sure when these spots appeared but i noticed them recently. I know cats skin can change as they age, i just want to confirm if this is normal and nothing to qorry about, or you suggest i should take him to a vet to be sure. They are on his head, in the eyebrow area, leading up to the ear

Welcome to TCS! :wave3: I'm glad you joined the site and came here for advice. I'm not positive but from the pic it could be ringworm. Here's an Article with more specific information: Ringworm In Cats: How To Win The Fight
And another about skin conditions in cats that might be helpful: Skin Conditions In Cats

Can you send the picture to your vet and ask their opinion? That might save you a trip.

It's just skin pigmentation, his hair might have thinned a bit so you can see it more. Nothing to worry about. Def not ringworm.
