What Causes Hair Loss On Legs?
I am fearful for my husband s health. My husband is 70 years old. He has diabetes which he takes medication for. To make matters worse he is a smoker. He has lost all the hair on his legs. Could this be caused by his diabetes? If not, what might be the cause for leg hair loss?
