Correlation between acne and male pattern baldness!

Vaibhav812Jul 14, 2016
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!

If you believe your medication is not working and you are losing more hair it is best to contact your doctor.

You need an examination for a better understanding of why you are losing hair. The Internet will only give you generalizations.  If you have DUPA you would not be a transplant candidate.

This is called Traction Alopecia. This is resulted from the Hair weave. You may want to seek interest in a hair transplant to solve this. I would suggest seeing a hair loss expert in your area to see if you are a candidate for a transplant and what would be best for you.
