Hi , thanks for your question that you have raised.

Hair loss occurs when individual hairs break away from the follicles and the follicles fail to produce new hairs.

. With alopecia areata, your immune system attacks its own cells that contribute to hair growth. Alopecia areata more commonly affects the scalp in patches. Anterolateral leg alopecia refers to hair loss on your legs that’s primarily located on the front and outer sides.

Leg hair loss may also be related to the following symptoms and conditions:

• poor circulation

• peripheral artery disease (PAD)

• diabetes which is a risk factor for PAD

• chronic rashes from eczema, psoriasis, or other skin conditions

• thyroid conditions, especially hypothyroidism

• fungal infections
