Any Link Between Body Hair and MPB?

I’m sure that this question has been asked many times but are body hair and baldness related? My dad suffers from MPB and he inherited it from his maternal grandfather. He first noticed a receding hairline at 16. My dad also has a lot of body hair and matured quite early. I’ve been told that I carry a lot of my mother’s genes but I have a lot of body hair like my dad.I’ve noticed a very slight recession in my hairline and I asked my dad and he didn’t know if I was losing it and I went to my dermatologist and she wasn’t sure either. Any information that you can give me would be great.

Like your dad and your dermatologist, I am not sure if you’re losing your hair either. I haven’t seen photos or have any way to determine if you’re in the early stages of balding, your hairline is maturing, or if you’re just worrying about nothing. Since you’re worried about male pattern baldness, you should have your scalp examined for signs of miniaturization.

The the hard fact is, if you inherited the hair loss gene, you inherited the gene. It’s really not related to body hair. Body hair is another genetic trait as well in itself and to my knowledge, these two are not directly related to each other.
