Hi y’all I have been wearing compression stockings (ankle to upper thigh; 40mmHg) for awhile and noticed it tends to “bruise” my leg hair. I know that’s super specific and sounds odd but basically pin point bruises on the hair follicles and pain. I don’t know if the stockings are rubbing/pulling the hair causing this but I cannot find any information online. Again, I know this is super niche but if any other guys have this issue with leg hair and elastic/compression garments let me know! Also any suggestions are appreciated

It seems that some people experience irritation and bruising from elastic and compression garments. You could try using softer, stretchier compression garments or consider trimming your leg hair to reduce the friction and pulling caused by the stockings.
