Anyone Else Losing Lower Leg Hair?

It started a few years ago…around the time I turned 40.  I started losing my lower leg hair?!?!  At first…I didn’t give it much thought.  Doctor said it was probably just my socks or slacks/jeans rubbing the hair off my legs.  I started wearing my socks so that they were down around my ankles but I “still” have the problem several years later!

I’ve read in several forums where this can be caused by a variety of conditions or situations.  One of which can be poor blood circulation to the legs…(don’t we always look at the worst possible scenario and think thats whats wrong with us???)

At this point, it’s just a little embarrassing, but I don’t let it bother me too much.  My “lily white” legs are more embarrassing than the lack of hair, HA!  But if you’re experiencing the loss of hair on your legs, probably wouldn’t hurt to mention it to your doctor next time you’re in for a visit.  If you notice any pain or discomfort in your legs, it would probably be best to get in to see your doctor and let them check you out.
