Question

For pattern baldness, or loss of hair in some regions of the scalp, to occur in males, the male must have _____.

Answer 1

Answer: DHT is an androgen and helps give males their male characteristics. DHT is thought to cause hair follicles to miniaturize, and this contributes to male pattern hair loss. By the age of 50 years, over half of the men in the U.S. will probably experience hair loss mediated by DHT.
