What happens to DHT with age?
Been balding since 2014. The type of balding I have is related to DHT. What happened to my scalp from 2014 to now? Did my body produce more DHT? Or am I producing the same amounts of DHT as before, but something that used to use DHT is lowered? If it increased, then theoretically, fin and all should have no negative effect on me, and I should be like pre 2014.
DHT often goes down slowly with age because it is the product of testosterone metabolism and the older you get the less testosterone you produce, hence less DHT. Balding works off of a genetic clock, so you don’t need a rise in DHT to allow the clock to kick in when the time comes (genetically speaking). Get professional advice from a good hair doctor.
