A member asked:
The hairs on my legs and thighs have disappeared and my facial and body hair are not as thick anymore, what is causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One of the most: usual explanations is exposure to certain drugs or chemicals: chemotherapy, radiation, mercury, and thallium can all interrupt the growing phase of hair. Also hormonal fluctuations, particularly thyroid problems, pregnancy, menopause.A sudden trauma--severe illness, death in the family, nutritional deficiency, surgery or weight loss can cause telogen effluvium--hair goes into resting stage.To Derm
