PN and Hair Loss
I've lost most of the hair on my legs below the knee. My doctor says that the hair loss is caused by my Small Fiber Neuropathy.
Has anyone else experienced this? |
I sure have. I don't have to shave my legs anymore. But with age I think you lose hair other places as well such as underarms, hair on your head thinning, etc.

I lost most of my leg hair when I was hypothyroid.
Once that was corrected, 1/2 of it grew back. My lost arm hair never returned --but I don't miss that. I think once the menopause is over, much of the body hair goes for women, as well. The only hair that seems to like older women however is on the chin.... I sometimes think all the old hair follicles moved there for me! LOL |
i lost the hair on my legs early in developing PN. it looks like i shave my legs.
|
Well, I am sorry that this is happening to us, but I am glad to learn that it is a known symptom, and not something I have to try to treat or see a doctor for.

Yup. Looks pretty funny on a 56 year old man too. I occasionally toy with shaving off what remains so that both legs match. Haven't gotten around to it yet.

Hi - I'm new to this board.
I am 48 year old male, and I have had hair loss on both legs from mid calf and below since I was approx 35. I recently have been having PN symptoms, and am seeing a variety of DRs to diagnose further. At this point I don't know if I have a circulation problem (PAD ?) that is related, or if it is purely a PN issue. I have nerve signal loss in both lower legs, loss of sensitivity to cold in a variety of places on my legs and hands. I have been having acute sciatic problems with right leg and associated radiculapthy (sp?). Anyhow, 3 MRIs, 1 EMG, several DRs later, I am still searching for answers..... Danny |
