A member asked:
Can you lose hair on your legs from having a thyroid problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Thyroid hormones are important in the regulation of several other hormones and also affect the hair life of the hair follicle. So, yes, it could be thr thyroid but may also be a sign of low sex hormones or other unrelated problems. If worried, see your doctor.
