Several years clogged of hair follicles by sebum can do miniaturization of hair in the donor area ?

Asked By:Dyaf in New York, NY

I was diagnosed with miniaturization of hair in the donor at 40%. Searching for the causes (before biopsy) visited a dermatologist - trichologist. During watching scalp in micro camera we saw sebum clogs the all hair follicles. I am surprised because for many years I use 2 times a week Nizoral. The dermatologist says that the cause of miniturization is tallow which is in arrears on the whole head. From what I know, DHT causes miniaturization of the hair and not the fat. What is the true ?
