    GlossaryGlabrous Skin (Hairless Skin)

    hairless skin on palms, soles, and certain genital areas

    Glabrous skin refers to areas of the body that are naturally hairless and smooth, such as the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and certain parts of the genitalia. This type of skin lacks hair follicles and is typically thicker and more sensitive to touch due to a higher density of nerve endings.

      The user noticed small circular hairless spots after a buzz cut and has been using finasteride, dutasteride, and oral minoxidil for hair loss. They are experiencing continuous shedding and thinning, and it is suggested they consult a dermatologist for a scalp examination and possible biopsy to determine if it's alopecia areata or androgenetic alopecia.
