Anyone lose hair on their legs? (1 Viewer)

[Zegras11]

I've been wearing dress pants for way longer than this started.

Then you must have recently been building up those muscles and were able to jump very high in your 20's, unlike me.

I'm hoping this happens to me. I'm almost embarrassed to wear shorts and have definitely trimmed them in early summer to keep it under control.

Mine are bald on the outside and hairy on the inside. Barely noticed until this thread.

Not sure what the hell is going on.  The pattern is the same on both legs.  I’ve always been pretty hairy.  But now about 60% of each lower leg is bare on the back of the calf running up to my knee, about half of the outside, and a small portion of my shin.  

My wife theorizes that I am moving my legs in my sleep and rubbing the hair off but she’s never seen me do it. 

Wtf?

I’ve had this for years. Pretty sure it’s rubbings my legs together while I sleep. People think I shave my legs.

Nice gams.

Did your plantar faciitis come back?  And are you wearing night splints?  It could have something to do with that.

No flare-ups for quite sometime.

Possible causes

Been stressed lately?

Way less stress this past year than in the past.

The good news for me is the rest of my lower legs are not that hairy, so I don’t look like as big a freak as shuke does. 

One thing I’ve noticed too, it changes at times. I wonder if sometimes when I’m more stressed I am more restless in sleep and so rub my legs together more. 

Anyway, good luck with your weird legs. Have you considered a hairpiece for the back of your calves ?

I’ve never seen your legs and I’m pretty sure you shave them.

Like a cricket?  Wouldn't your wife notice if you were rubbing your legs together frequently enough to remove hair?

I thought shuke's issue may be from sitting frequently with his legs crossed, but that doesn't completely explain the pattern.

I don't think my dad wore shorts outside for the first 65 years of his life.  His legs are white and hairless.  Unable to get a tan.

I'm going to say it's a vitamin deficiency and lack of exposure to sunlight.  And as always, I have no ####### idea what I'm talking about.

Once again, username checks out.

Same thing happened to me 5 years or so ago. Lost lower leg hair,forearm hair as well as eyebrows and eyelashes. Went to a dermatologist and she said it was Alopecia and it can't be cured. You can get steroid shots to the area in hopes it spurs new growth but that's about it. Very common if you've had other  immune disorders like chicken pox, psoriasis or excema.

Chicken pox is not an immune disorder.

You're right I got mixed up. I also have shingles which comes from the chicken pox virus.

Interesting. Yeah it could be from crossing legs too.
