2. Hair Loss on Legs
If you notice hair loss on your legs, it could indicate peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD is similar to a buildup of plaque in the arteries of the legs, restricting blood flow.
A lack of sufficient nutrients and oxygen can lead to hair loss. While hair loss alone isn’t a cause for concern, it could be one of the first signs of a more serious problem. It’s advisable to consult your doctor to assess your blood circulation.
