Correlation between acne and male pattern baldness!

July 14, 2016
Asked By:Vaibhav812 in Big Indian, NY

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!
