This is due to the concentration of sweat glands that carry DHT in these areas.The interaction of DHT with androgen receptors in scalp skin and follicles, appears to cause male and female pattern baldness. DHT miniaturises hair follicles by shortening the anagen (growth) phase and/or lengthening the telogen (resting) phase. This is usually a gradual process of converting terminal to vellus-like hair. The overall result is an increasing number of short, thin hairs barely visible above the scalp.
