Baldness and testosterone are so related that it’s scary. There is no reason not to think that the drawing of links between sicknesses and certain biological traits is retrogressive. If anything this is actually a good starting point when it comes to diagnosing patients and helping them to cope or fight specific illnesses. But one particular link is that between baldness and testosterone, it is explained below.
To start with testosterone is a hormone that is found in men and is tasked with the job of defining sexual characteristics and attributes in men. So it is this testosterone that is converted to DHT by some remotely complicated biological procedure. DHT is a hormone that is made from testosterone in the prostate gland as well as in the glands underlying the scalp. It is this DHT that is the primary concern for dermatologists trying to find a cure for hair loss.
The very moment DHT is manufactured in the scalp so many hair related problems start. Over saturation of DHT in the skin pores leading to the hair follicles results in hair follicles being choked to the point of being wiped out completely. That is how hair stops growing for some men with a lot of DHT concentrated in their body.
