I Have a Bald Spot on Both Legs in the Same Area
I have been taking 1/5 proscar for the past 6 months and I noticed I have a patch on both my lower legs where there is less hair. It’s in the same spot on both legs and it is roughly 2 by 4 inches big. It’s clearly visible and I haven’t noticed any changes in body hair on my chest, arms or any other body part. I’m not complaining but I would like to know if it’s normal.
I do not know how this could be related to the use of finasteride. If there are stubs of hair (like a closely shaven leg), it could be from traction. Perhaps you are wearing boots or pants that are rubbing in the area? Maybe the spots was there before and you never noticed it? Maybe it is something else entirely. It sounds odd, particularly if it is on both sides. I just do not know.
Hi — the bald patches on your lower legs are probably rom rubbing — as in a pair of boots you have been wearing for example. I too have bald spots on both sides in the same spot. It’s from my boots rubbing the area. If I stop wearing the boots, the hair will return.
That answer is totally wrong. Many people are reporting the same issue like me where they don’t wear boots, or high socks and have the same issue. We need an answer that we can fix. It’s embarrassing. Perhaps something like male pattern baldness on the legs?
