Frederick, OK

Has anyone lost their hair but only on their legs, arms, underarms? The only place I haven't is my head and my private. I lost my leg hair when I was 38 or so, long before I was diagnosed. Will I lose all my hair

I have not had any hair loss in those areas, but I have been having problems with my hair. I started using hair vitamin and coconut oil when I wash and condition my hair. Try not to use as much heat on it also. I hope that this can help you in some kind of way.
