Is artery occlusion/insufficiency the only cause for hair to disappear from the one leg with mild swelling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leg edema/hair loss: Arterial occusion is macrovascular arterial disease. There can be venous stasis either from right heart or hepatic issues, abdominal masses or microvascular disease with neuropathy from diabetes, HTN, autoimmune vasculitis, high cholesterol. If the leg edema is sudden seek immediate attention as it could be a clot. .
