Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Some boys have leg hair from a young age (certain ethnic groups). Now, he is done growing when he grows enough facial hair to require shaving every day.

Question 2

my leg hairs are growing day by day. what can i do to stop or slow down the leg hair growth ? please tell me some natural ways to stop the hair growth

Accepted Answer

Increased Hair : Mix together equal parts turmeric, gram flour and water until it becomes a paste. Apply to hair and rub the cream off once it has dried. When applied consistently, turmeric and gram flour reduce and slow the growth of hair.

Question 3

my leg hair growth has slowed down...went from shaving every other day to once a week.. but i didn't try to do anything to slow it down. how did this?

Accepted Answer

Your hormones: Your hormones affect hair growth and you may have had a hormonal change affecting slowing the hair growth.

Question 4

i'm 32. i recently noticed an obvious change in my leg hair, it became patchy. i haven't noticed that anywhere else. at first it was just front part of thigh, but now inner and lower part. no recent product change. which tests should be done?

Accepted Answer

: If there is no hair loss elsewhere, hormonal issue such as thyroid disease or vitamin deficiency is very less likely present.
You are also too young for problem with circulation to the legs. Poor circulation to the legs also causes claudication (calf pain with walking a distance).
So the remained possible causes will be local such as fungal infection (hair loss + rashes) or change in gartment.

Question 5

why does my leg hair change color for no reason?

Accepted Answer

Hypopigmentation.: Hair pigments can change throughout our lifespan. You may see a dermatologist for a more thorough examination.

Question 6

how can i stop compression stocking from pulling my leg hair ? and keep them from being so hot ? i'm need  to wear them but these issues make it hard.

Accepted Answer

Stocking trouble: Cotton compression stockings are cooler than synthetic.  There are also lighter, thinner stockings that are available.  If you are wearing thigh high stockings and really only need knee high, the shorter ones will be cooler.  Your best resource is probably the medical supplier who fits stockings.  They can tell you what is available.  The hair pulling thing might actually be trickier.

Question 7

is the amount of leg hair on a boy related to penis size?

Accepted Answer

Not much.: Both are controlled by the amount of testosterone and 5-alpha-reductase, but the amount of 5-alpha in the leg skin and in the genital area are regulated by different genes.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Hair removal: Epilation and threading are the most common ways of dealing with unwanted hair. You can have a dermatologist also laser it off but it takes several sessions.

Question 9

can docs recommend a good leg hair removal creams?

Accepted Answer

Leg hair removal: Most topical hair removal creams may provide temporary response.  I do not know of any comparison studies that show one topical product is better than another.
