A coupe of years ago I switched from wearing boxers to compression shorts for about ~4 months. Shortly after, I began noticing hair loss on the front of both of my thighs. I stopped wearing the compression shorts but the problem has persisted (and possible worsened?) There are large, mostly hairless spots on both thighs with red bumps. I often wear jeans at work and I think those may cause friction that have prevented the hair from regrowing.

I get self conscious about this and would love to correct it. I have to wear pants for work so I’m not exactly sure how to go about fixing the issue without wearing insanely baggy pants. Does anyone have any advice here? Are there any products I should be using on my skin?
