@alexexplains33: Loss of hair on your lower legs with shiny, smooth skin can be a warning sign of poor blood flow and peripheral arterial disease — especially in men over 50. PAD raises the risk of heart attack and stroke but is often missed for years. In this video I show key red flags, what doctors usually check and when to see a specialist. If you recognise yourself, don't panic — but don't ignore it either. #health #doctor #legs #human #healthtips

I noticed this and went to my Dr about it. He said it happens with age and not to worry. I'm 60.

Smooth spot on my shins but hairy feet and toes so I guess it’s just bypassing my shin

I think it could also be called, my husband wore socks and cowboy boots for many, many years of his life and the hair has been rubbed off.

Andrew Elver :
Superficial veins may be the issue — meaning the veins closer to the skin surface may show reflux/varicose vein-type changes or superficial venous insufficiency.
