GlossaryLeg Hair

hair growing on human legs, influenced by hormonal changes

Leg hair refers to the hair that grows on the human legs, typically more prominent after puberty due to hormonal changes. It serves as a secondary sexual characteristic and provides some degree of protection and insulation. In a clinical context, variations in leg hair growth can be indicative of hormonal imbalances or underlying health conditions.
