Testosterone & head grooves

Good morning,
I have been on testosterone cypionate for almost 3 years & lately I've noticed that I have developed grooves in the top of my head. I haven't been diagnosed yet but I am 99% sure it is called CVG - Cutis Verticis Gyrata. Does anyone have this condition.
Thanks
Junior

Is there any evidence that this is due to testosterone.
I used to use anabolic steroids, for the gym. Always used Supraphysiological doses of test.
As did all my friend. From them, to Internet forums, I never heard of this condition.

I haven't been diagnosed, but one possibility I saw was anabolic steroids. One in 100,000 men can get this, it may not be due to testosterone. I was wondering if it had to any men on testosterone cypionate.
Thanks
Junior

"Other secondary associations include inflammatory conditions, such as psoriasis, eczema, Darier disease (a disorder characterized by dark, crusty patches on the skin), impetigo (a common and contagious skin infection that causes red sores), acne and atopic dermatitis. Human growth hormone and anabolic steroid use are also linked to secondary CVG." found on web

Been on TRT for 5 years and about 2 years ago noticed ridges on my scalp. There are two and they go from the crown of my head forward about 3 inches.. keep my hair short for last 10 years and never noticed before 2 years ago. Barber even noticed it… Mentioned it to my PCP and she said if no pain or irritation not to worry about it.. offered to do some test if I was concerned… just ignoring it for now
