Why do we go bald but grow hair in our nose and ears? WE SPEAK MEDICINE

Welcome to Doctor Myth - We speak Medicine!
I am Dr. Bogdan Ivanescu, and my goal is to bring you the latest and most interesting medical information.
In this spirit, aren't you curious to find out why, as men age, the hair on their scalp disappears only to show up in their ears, nose, or even to decorate their backs?
I'm joking - obviously, it's not the same hair, but what I've described is the reality. As men age, 60% experience baldness, and roughly the same number discover that their hair thickens in all the unwanted places.
The explanation is exceptionally interesting. On the scalp, hair follicles react differently to testosterone, especially to dihydrotestosterone. The follicles on the crown and forehead understand that they need to shrink, to miniaturize, and eventually to disappear. However, the follicles on the temples and nape are deaf to the orders of dihydrotestosterone.
Conversely, the hair follicles in the nose, ears, and on the back react oppositely. As the concentration of this hormone increases, they become more active and increase their hair production. Thicker, larger, longer, and darker hairs, unfortunately!
But you might object that testosterone levels decrease with age, and you'd be right. However, our scalp and back are unaware of this because three mechanisms work against us. First, with age, follicles become more sensitive to dihydrotestosterone. The second mechanism - a certain enzyme extracts this hormone more efficiently from even lower levels of testosterone. The third mechanism increases our local production of testosterone when its blood levels decrease.
We might say there's no escape! Well, not quite. At the Doctor MiT Clinic, we have a solution for alopecia to cover what has been uncovered, and additionally, the grooming device industry, which removes unwanted hair, has exploded. This is excellent because it allows us to maintain a, shall we say, friendly appearance. :)
Now you know why scalp hair migrates to the nose, ears, and back! Wonder and search for the answers! And don't miss Doctor Myth!
