Yes, but however, follicles, the area around hair-inducing cells, is not the same as sebaceous glands. But I do think that it is a great indicator for successful androgen blockage on the skin tissue.It turns out that this is similar to the situation with the testicles, which are not affected by Bicalutamide for the same reason: local concentrations of androgens. However, people on Bicalutamide or HRT notice that their scalp is no longer oily, which suggests that androgens are successfully blocked. This can be an indicator of a successful androgenic blockade, because sebum production is regulated by androgens. It is strange that the production of sebum stops, acne too, but the hair continues to fall out. Absurd
And correct, that's the same in the testicles, just that it's naturally like that, but the concentration of androgens in the follicle gets produced by comversion of precursors to powerful androgens for whatever reason.
