@drsermedmezherexplains: “I Want Smooth Glowing Skin” #wait Smooth, glowing, hairless skin on the legs can seem desirable at first glance, but it may signal an underlying medical condition, such as peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD reduces blood flow to the limbs, depriving the skin and hair follicles of the oxygen and nutrients they need to thrive. This can lead to thinning or complete loss of hair on the legs, shiny or tight-looking skin, and even changes in skin color. However, it’s important to note that similar changes can also result from other conditions. Hormonal imbalances, such as those caused by thyroid disorders, can affect hair growth, as can aging, genetic predispositions, or autoimmune diseases like alopecia areata. Even certain skin conditions like scleroderma or venous insufficiency can contribute to these signs. If you notice these changes alongside other symptoms like pain, cramping, or discoloration, it’s essential to consult a healthcare provider to rule out serious issues like PAD or other underlying conditions. Recognizing these signs early can make a big difference in getting appropriate care. #skin #legs #medicine #beauty
