I'm obese an obese male, and my low testosterone levels are 90 ng/dl. how can i possible have extremely dense facial hair, and chest hair, + lowlevel?

Estrogen: You have not always had low T. Your genetics more than any hormone set in stone your hair follicles. Hair is protein and it continues to grow well when you eat protein. But, being obese means you have significantly more Estrogen than you should have and this estrogen is blocking your Testosterone. Obese men often have very low Testosterone because of the excess Estrogen.
