Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) (Full name: 5α-Dihydrotestosterone, abbreviating to 5α-DHT; INN: androstanolone) is a biologically active metabolite of the hormone testosterone, formed primarily in the prostate gland, testes, hair follicles, and adrenal glands by the enzyme 5α-reductase by means of reducing the 4,5 double-bond.
Dihydrotestosterone belongs to the class of compounds called androgens, also commonly called androgenic hormones or testoids.
DHT is thought to be approximately 30 times more potent than testosterone because of increased affinity for the androgen receptor.

 Treatment of lichen sclerosus with topical dihydrotestosterone -- Paslin 78 (6): 1046 -- Obstetrics & Gynecology
Because serum levels of dihydrotestosterone are low in women with vulvar lichen sclerosus and because dihydrotestosterone is an effector androgen in vulvar skin, this double-blind cross-over study assessed five women with vulvar lichen sclerosus to determine the response to treatment with dihydrotestosterone.
Objective gross and microscopic improvement in lichen sclerosus accompanied sustained treatment with topical dihydrotestosterone, but not with vehicle alone.
However, there was no change in symptoms (itching and dyspareunia) in these women, although dihydrotestosterone did improve some of the features of vulvar lichen sclerosus and may represent a new treatment for this disease.
