Correlation between acne and male pattern baldness!

Question

Im 21,India. Losing hair since 13 and I'm told it's a HARMONAL THING. I hsve researched alot and the conclusion is smoking, excessive dht due to chronic masturbation. Ive quit smoking fortunately. I was wondering if dht is formed due to masturbation ONLY and if sexual intercourse is also an area of concern for me. Thankyou!

Acne is not related to male pattern balding.  Masturbation is also not the cause.  You may want to see a doctor for a better understanding of your hair loss rather than speculate on non-related issues.

No, there is no combination between acne and male pattern baldness. I suggest seeing an expert to evaluate your best treatment options. Non invasive options include PRP/progesterone or transplantation for improvement. Best, Dr. Emer
