Thin Hair And In Patches On Legs After Shaving. Hair In Head Shorter. Sign Of Liver Problems?
Hi. I noticed that I shaved my legs about 2 weeks ago, and very very little hair has grown back, and what has grown back is very thin, and in patches. Also, the hair on my head has suddenly gotten drastically shorter, yet I see no hairs falling or coming out. I also have noticed that I have acne along my jawline mainly on my left jaw, but now very little on my right. Is this a sign of liver problems? Lately, I've been thinking about getting a Liver cleanser (all natural) to perform at home.

Hi,
Before taking any supplement as liver cleanser, you should make sure you have liver problems by checking the blood transaminases.
Furthermore, thin hair and in patches could also be a sign of vitamins deficiencies (vit.D,E,etc.). You can take multivitamins supplements containing vit.D,E,Ca,Mg,etc.
Another factor could be related to skin problems (infection,etc.), which should be evaluated by a dermatologist.
Hope it helped!
