In PAD, poor blood flow can starve toe hair follicles of vital nutrients.
PAD-related restricted blood flow may result in visible toe hair thinning or loss.
Persistent high blood sugar can damage blood vessels, reducing the nourishment needed for healthy hair growth.
Initial blood flow issues caused by diabetes can appear as slow thinning of toe hair.
Fluctuating thyroid hormone levels can interfere with the normal hair growth cycle.
Both underactive and overactive thyroid conditions can gradually lead to toe hair loss.
Deficiencies in key minerals such as iron or zinc can impair hair follicle health and growth.
Inadequate protein consumption can weaken hair and reduce its overall thickness.
In coronary heart disease, restricted blood flow can reduce circulation to hair follicles in the lower limbs.
Limited blood flow due to coronary heart disease can slowly diminish hair growth on the legs and toes.
