DHT levels in the balding part of our scalp...

[Guest]

Is there any way to know the DHT levels in the balding part of our scalp?

I know that a blood test tells you the DHT levels in our blood, but they may differ from DHT levels in the balding part of our scalp.

A scalp biopsy, perhaps?

Hm...it's not so much the DHT that's there, as it is how supsectible the follicle is to DHT.

But to directly answer your question: see a dermatologist.

It's all about the DHT levels.

it's suposed that men with NO hairloss have less DHT in their scalp than men with hair loss.

Also in the Propecia medicine info , inside the box, it says clearly:

"Men with male pattern hair loss have more DHT in the balding part of their scalp than in other parts, resulting in increased hairloss"

So, i think you are wrong.

male pattern baldness is an auto-immune response. It's not that we have wildly higher levels of DHT in the scalp, but instead, the follicles we do have fall prey to that DHT.
