Like the person said, it’s sensitivity to DHT

First of all there is another form of male pattern baldness which affects the legs. Lots of people think guys lose their leg hair due to wearing office socks, nope, it is DHT. Some guys might lose leg hair but not head hair, even. On the opposite end, people with more severe alopecia can lose facial hair and even eyebrows, it’s just not as common. Again, all of it comes down to sensitivity to DHT, aka the genetic lottery, as well as lifestyle things, like stress, smoking, or taking steroids, that can influence how much DHT you have floating around.
