Depending: If the area on your leg has had multiple injuries it may be due to that. If your legs swell that would decrease the circulation and possibly be part of the problem. If your legs have been rubbed from boots or sports gear that could also contribute to the loss. If it falls out in clumps or appears patchy let your doctor examine it and diagnose the condition and start treatment if needed.
