This could be just normal hyperpigmentation from aging. If the area isn't causing him to lick or be bothered and it doesn't look inflamed or irritated, I would just watch it. If it seems to bother him or is getting worse, I would have your vet take a look to just make sure there isn't any other concerns. I hope this helps!
