Good question! I've been wondering about this myself. I'm 35 and started losing the hair on my legs 7-10 years ago. I thought it was from wearing dress socks, but seemed like I was the only one this happened to. I was very hairy as a teen, and recently someone asked me if I shaved my legs! About a year ago I asked my doctor if it was a nutrition thing & was told no, that it's just something the "happens". I had blood work done (for a different situation) and everything came out fine.

I don't seem to be losing hair anywhere else on my body besides my lower legs. In fact, the older I get, the more hair that seems to show up (ears, back, etc). I make fun, saying that I'm not losing my hair, it's just "relocating"...lol.
