Are Acne Sufferers More Likely to Have Hair Loss? – Hair Loss Information by Dr. William Rassman

If acne sufferers have increased 5 alpha reductase activity then does this mean they are more likely to suffer baldness? I am a male and have quite bad acne and my hair seems to be thinning at the front your help would be much appreciated!!

Thanks

I think that the answer to your question is no, but there is a connection with the medications (Accutane, for example) that are often used in acne treatment and hair loss.
