Actually alot has been shown at least what ive read that castration mostly does stop the progression of male pattern baldness but it doesn't reverse it at all. If your castrated before puberty you'll keep your hair most likely but if DHT has had a chance to nest near those sensitive follicles your going to see some miniaturization. I believe when hair miniaturized so far the blood supply is cut off and so far no drug can completely recreate that connection. You can see in those pictures of that guy with areata sure he grew back his thinning horseshoe pattern but suppressing his immune system didn't do anything for those follicles dht already laid siege to.Ambiguous to say the least. It sounds like you're not sure, either. I don't buy the fibrosis kills HF to death theory. Why do higher levels of DHT in HF not cause baldness in all males?
If DHT is the root cause of male pattern baldness, then why doesn't castration solve the problem? I think the fibrosis theory is just a way of saying they don't know.
Scientists are now able to re-grow a type of hair in people that is genetically programmed not to, cochlear hairs.
AA, AT and AU - three vexingly difficult immune-related hair loss disorders solved by a topical ointment - and perhaps one more to go.
