My forehead started being much more sensitive and itchy when I first noticed I was losing hair does it have anything to do with male pattern baldness?

Anecdotally yes, an itchy scalp is a very commonly reported symptom of male pattern baldness (the DHT itch), male pattern baldness sufferers also commonly have psoriasis.

Forehead? So your face and not your scalp? Is it oily?

Both my forehead and scalp are oily and itch, same with my nose, but the rest of my face is smooth and clean. I have always had oily forehead, nose and hair though, even before male pattern baldness.
But before male pattern baldness my skin used to be more greasy than oily, meaning I could actually wipe off liquid grease from my forehead with a paper towel. back then my forehead skin was smooth and rarely itched. Now there isn't liquid grease but rather my skin just feels oily and has a rough texture and a mild red hue.

I never had acne as a teenager. So I don't know whats up.
