It is primarily caused by genetics and the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which gradually shrinks hair follicles, leading to thinning and eventual hair loss. In this article, Dr Amr Salam, highly respected Consultant Dermatologist, explains the most effective treatments for male pattern hair loss and discusses whether combining therapies can improve outcomes.

This article outlines evidence-based steps for building a skincare routine, highlights common myths, and addresses mistakes that may hinder progress.
