A member asked:
Do men who experience male pattern baldness also have body hair loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: The form of testosterone, known as dihydrotestosterone, that causes male pattern baldness is also reponsible for causing hair growth in other areas, like the beard area. Sounds like a paradox.
