Dumb Theory?

[chance budro]

Hi guys

I've been taking minomicin 50 (antibiodic for acne) for pretty much 10 years (from 13), and stopped it at 23, im now 24. This is when i experienced hairloss that was "noticeable" to me, but not others.

Im just wondering if this has anything to do with accelerating male pattern baldness, or possible reducing it if i went on it again.

I think its main aim is to reduce testosterone, which causes hair loss - thus wouldnt it work for male pattern baldness?

Might be pulling at straws - just a thought.

If it is an antibiotic, its aim was not to reduce test. but to reduce bacteria/infection. No impact on male pattern baldness as far as I can see.
