I hear athletes foot causes premature hair loss because of the fungi…and it stays in you system. Is this true? I had athletes foot in 6th grade and thats when I started to bald. now I’m now in 12th grade and I’m almost completely bald.My moms, brothers only have a receding hair line that isn’t really bad. and one of them has a full set of hair. but im talking about guys in there 40’s and 50’s….im only 18.
