Hair Loss on the Legs
Shiny, hairless legs can be another sign of claudication. The reduction in the flow of blood to the legs due to narrowed arteries may cause the lower limbs to lose hair. Along with the hair loss, the legs may also appear shiny.
Shiny legs are sometimes caused by stretching of the skin, which may be related to fluid collecting in the lower limbs. Shiny legs may also be a sign of a heart disorder.
