Hair Loss On Back of Right Calf Posted: 02-24-07 12:27pm
I am VERY hairy. That is why i'm at a
total loss in just discovering the back of
my right calf only,from the ankle to 3/4
up my calf is completly hairless. Bald!!!
I do have three mysterious lesions due
from itching,though have scabbed over and
almost healed. My diet is healthy with
fruits and plenty of vegetables, though
since Christmas have new girlfriend that
cooks daily our meals. Chinese so have
been eating more fatty meats though not in
big quantities. Also I initially
mentioned "just discovering". This hair
loss seemed to happen 'overnight'. Could
anyone tell me what's going on?

Have you changed your laundry detergent
lately? Did you do anything that might
have rubbed the hair off (rollerblading,
leg wraps etc)? It could be that you are
developing eczema. Do you have a history
of this or anyone in your family have
eczema? I think this because of the itchy
sore on the area. I'm also thinking that
it might be a localized allergic reaction
to something.
