Steatotic alopecia generally refers to androgenic alopecia, which is not caused by high androgen.

Is it high testosterone that causes excessive fat loss?

Androgenic alopecia is a common type of alopecia characterized by hair follicle miniaturization and gradual hair loss. Although androgen is the main cause of this disease, it is not related to high androgen levels, but due to abnormal sensitivity to DHT, a metabolite of androgen, so it can occur not only in men but also in women. Second, in addition to androgens, genetic factors are also important causes of the disease, and if someone in the family has the disease, the risk of the disease is usually higher than that of the general population.
