A member asked:
Why do i have hair loss at the bottom of my legs especially around where my socks are?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Friction : Most men will get hair loss in this area from the chronic friction of pant legs and socks rubbing the skin while walking. Over the course of years, the hair will stop growing in these areas.
