I'm a 28-year-old guy and I've just found out my DHT levels are higher than the normal range; mine are 1221 pgml, while the normal range is 250-990. I've noticed I'm also dealing with an itchy scalp and hair loss. Could there be a link between my high DHT levels and these issues? I'm really curious if that's what's causing it and what I should do about it.

I've been struggling with these rashes that keep coming back even though I'm following my dermatologist's treatment. The meds worked at first but now I'm still getting rashes during the course and once it's done, it's back again. I've taken so many medicines over the last few months, and I'm worried if I'm missing something. How can I clear these allergies completely from my body?
