Let's focus on the FUNDAMENTALS, not the little details (Topicals)

Well, I didn't bother to state the obvious, which is that the difference between scalp hair follicles and body hair follicles is that the former are suppressed by androgens, and the latter are stimulated by them. Scientists don't yet understand the specific biochemical reason(s) for that, but they're working on it as we speak.

But that IS the reason for balding: scalp follicles are damaged by androgens.
