Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > Miscellaneous
Hair loss in legs..anyone else had this?
imaginary:
I think the weird thing with me is that hair appears to be growing on my calves after so many years of only having stubble.
DonM:
20 years of wearing combat boots and blousing my pants did a number on my lower legs and the hair hasn't grown back.
Focus:
About ten years back (at roughly 25 years old), I discovered that the back of my calves was losing hair but I did'nt care. I have just checked : hair is thinner than on other parts of the legs but seems to come back.
I think you should'nt worry, except if you consider it ugly.
pjm789:
Never had much body hair either. My legs, arms, and chest look like a shaved Olympic swimmer. Can grow a beard in almost no time though. Wouldn't worry much; you're way too young to worry about most things that plague us older guys.

Mainly around the back of my calves but it it starting to spread to the sides and front. In some areas the hair is just becoming very sparsely spread out, but in others the hair is more like stubble now. Its really weird.
Its definitely not from socks or tight clothing rubbing.
I am also developing varicose veins in both legs..considering I am an active healthy 26 year old with no family history of these, I find it quite alarming.
I went to my doctor, twice, and he just dismissed it as something harmless and I shouldnt worry..but I am worried!
I used to like having really hairy legs as it made me feel masculine, now I dont know if I could ever expose them in public again :(

since your doc cleared ya, I would not worry about it too much.
I seemed to get more leg hair about the time I was loosing hair on my head. That said, I could care less how much or little I have. I don't think there's any correlation to masculinity. I never had a girl comment either way.
