Male Pattern Baldness
Online intake — Additional evaluation may be required
Male pattern baldness is also called androgenetic alopecia. A clinician reviews the distribution and timing of loss and checks for other explanations.
Overview
Pattern hair loss often involves the temples or crown. Family history and androgen sensitivity are part of its clinical context, but not every instance of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia.
Signs and Symptoms
- Changes at the temples or crown
- Progressive change in hair density
- A widening area of visible scalp
Common Questions
What findings require a different assessment?
Sudden shedding, patchy loss, scalp pain, inflammation, or scarring should be reported. These findings require assessment rather than assuming male pattern baldness.
