If you only apply minoxidil in certain places you shouldn't expect hair growth elsewhere (where you are not applying it). This seems logical.

Alopecia areata may be triggered by stress, but stess is not the CAUSE of it.  Follow up with your doctor and explore your treatment options.

There is no permanent cure for genetic male pattern balding. Medications such a Propecia will help.  There are side effects with any medications.  If you are emotionally scared of the side effects, then it may not be something you want to use.  You should explore your emotions...

DHT is produced by your body everyday. It is a hormone that everyone has (both men and women). DHT does not cause hair loss. Genes that you inherited from your mother or father cause hair loss.

If you don't have pubic hair, you should see a doctor for an examination. There may be a medical cause.  If there is no medical cause, then hair transplant surgery may be one option to have pubic hair.

Many drugs have hair loss as a side effect. However, in most cases the use of drugs are not the primary cause.
