hairloss on the body

[worriedmale]

does anyone suffer from hairloss other then their head? ive noticed that the hair on the back off my calf is becomming shorter and there is less hair there.

also on the side of my thigh ive noticed a bald patch which is identical to my other thigh on exactly the same spot. should i be worried about this? could this be connected to hairloss on my scalp?

im not on any meds or anything at the moment.

How old are you? It may be an age thing with the calf, my dad has almost no hair on his calves anymore, and he used to have lots. He hasnt had any hair there since his early forties.

it's from your pants rubbing against your leg

hair loss on legs

I noticed about 2 years ago hair loss on the outside and back of my calfs the dermatologist said it was pants rubbing i am 50 why dont my pants rub on the other side of the leg, my GP who is about 70 said it will get worse with age.For a while ithought it might be due to circulation but had that checked out and it was fine I think its hormonal because all the hair i have lost on my head and legs have sprouted somewhere else on my body where you dont want it like your ears.

it's from pants rubbing, i did a study on it in high school

people who live in tropical places their whole lives don't get it because they don't wear pants very often

Personly losing hair on my legs would'nt concern me at all.

Heh, funny you should mention this. On the back of my both my calves there's a patch with very little hair on it. My legs are otherwise very hairy! I do wear skinny jeans, that might have something to do with it.... but then why isn't it the same all over my legs?

yep i guess it must be the jeans rubbing. im 23.
