The bizzare reason of my legs hair loss ?!

Hello, so over the years I noticed something absolutely bizzare.

When I was 14 years old my legs were so full of hair that the skin was barely visible, like a monkey.

Now at 28 if I don't shave, the hairs are extremely thin and the skin is very very visible.

What happened to my legs hair and why ?! any theory ?

Look like a monkey...turned into a chicken......Probably started all the way down first and went up from there.....I am dealing with the same issue.  I'll be turning 60 in December.  I may be all out of feathers by then.  I think it's called AGING. We must be related.  I recall playing baseball at 14 - a kid came to me and said I had more hair than his grandpa.....

Aging ? I am 26

Go to the dermatologist and see what they tell you.  I don't think this requires a biopsy but perhaps they can shed some light into this. Alopecia Areata or a self immune system could be in play.....visit with a doctor.

Do you take finasteride? I have heard that finasteride can affect body hair.

No, but I read that many males who are balding lost their leg hari for some reason. Maybe it s related

I wish, my leg hair grows like a wear wolf. As soon as I started losing hair on my head, I started growing hair everywhere else.

The same thing happened to me. I started losing my lower leg hair about the same time I started losing hair on my head. Do you take propecia/finisteride? My leg hair loss seemed to really speed up during the years that I was taking that. Since I stopped taking finisteride my stomach and back hair has increased and I think I've gained a small amount of hair back on my legs too.
