Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Your hormone levels are fine but the hair follicles are not responding to that.
This type of condition is called as testosterone insensitivity syndrome.
I would like to know whether you have normal axillary and pubic hair or even these are less.
If possible attach a photograph of your facial axillary and pubic hairs.
It is important to see whether they are vellus or terminal hair.
Rogaine and tugain both are same thing but I doubt its efficacy in your condition.
Waiting for your response.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you

Thanks for your response sir,
Yes sir i wanted to clear you that, pubic hair growth is good and its terminal hair.
But if i talk about axillary hair (Underarm) its growth is as like pubic hair, but its not dense (Estimation-->2-3 hairs/centimeter square) so if seen from farther distance its not going to be visible. And i am uploading photograph of facial hair pattern. Also no hair on chest.
In addition to it i would like to tell you that my Father had a very good facial hair, infact my younger brother has good terminus hair of mustache at the age of 16. Its only for me my facial hair is very less in our whole family.
Other details--
My voice is normal male voice.
And have normal genital development and every things are fine.
Please check photographs....
I have another doubt related to very high DHT level, is there any effect of it on my this problem or any other consequences of it ??
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Thanks for the follow up and photographs.
If all other parameters are normal.
Testosterone insensitivity may not be the cause.
I think you should get a biopsy done to locate the exact cause.
Also you can start applying tugain.
Dont worry about DHT.
Actually DHT is the active form of testosterone.
High DHT is not a matter of concern.
Thank you
