Excessive leg hair growth indicates heightened secretion of androgens. Body hair is closely related to hormonal secretion; an increase in androgen levels can manifest as excessive leg hair growth. Excessive leg hair may also have a genetic component, and men are generally more prone to having abundant leg hair. It is important to maintain local hygiene to prevent folliculitis.
