Losing hair... on my ankles (re-post)

For the last year and a half I have had bald spots on both my lower legs (ankles) and although this doesn't compare to the suffering the alopecia on my head has caused me, I still would like to find out why this is happening.

I have tried things like not wearing socks, getting my thyroid checked, and I stopped taking certain vitamins and foods. No results.

I thought the cause was the Procerin or the GNC Multivitamins I was taking at the time which both contained Saw Palmetto but I haven't taken these pills in over a year.

Another rather peculiar thing is the bald spots on my legs match the alopecia on my head. The left temple is slightly more progressed than the right temple like the bald spot on my left ankle is slightly larger than my right ankle.

What the hell is this and does it have any coralation to male pattern baldness?

Please, only serious comments or don't post at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my father had that problem but soon found out what it was from.

he was a pilot and he always had a suitcas along side him. as he walked the suitcase would rub against his leg. so much walking with the suitcase over the years eliminated the hair on the outside of his right calf.. it was kinda funny.

this doenst sound like what's happening to you.. but if i were you i'd be LEAST concerned about your leg hair my friend.

I stated very clearly that I am not really effected by this emotionally like I am with male pattern baldness so I don't consider it in any way a "curse" or anything bad! I would just like to find some information if anyone knows anything useful and if it has any coralation with my male pattern baldness!!

Oh dear I fear a bitter war of civilsations coming between those who have male pattern baldness and those who have APB (ankle pattern baldness).
