Something similar happened to me! I was unable to take part in sport/PE because of an injury and prolonged physiotherapy, but I worked on an illustrated assignment on the history of cricket, and got an A+ for Physical Education. Hilarious, really.

There is only one shampoo that has any effect on levels of DHT on the scalp - and that is Nizoral 1% or 2% (the latter is only on prescription, and can be a bit drying, I found). Nizoral is actually an anti-dandruff treatment but is quite effective as part of the treatment for hair loss...
