A member asked:
Does an inadequate lymphatic system cause localized swelling in a leg w/ hair loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well.....yes.......: but you'd want to have other evaluations for the more commonly mentioned other circulatory conditions (venous return malfunction... varicose veins... which overwhelm the pool lil lymphatics) (arterial insufficiency which is quite dangerous and typically is associated with hair loss in leg/feet/toes).
