Baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia)
Baldness occurs both in men and women as their age advances.
The baldness which occurs in men is called “male pattern baldness”
and is characterized by receding hairline and loss of hair on the
crown area. It is generally experienced around and from age of 25
years.
The baldness which occurs in women is called “female pattern
baldness” and is characterized by overall thinning of hair on scalp
and little loss of hair on crown or hairline. This can begin at
puberty but usually occurs after menopause.
The cause for both types of baldness is attributed to genetic
factors which have been inherited.

Small circular patches of baldness start appearing on the scalp and
hair re-grows in these patches after few days. This is called as
alopecia areata. Persons who are affected by this condition will
have repeated hair fall and regrowth of the above mentioned pattern.
In severe condition total loss of scalp hair occurs. This is called
as “alopecia totalis” .Some times complete loss of body hair also
occurs. This is called as “alopecia universalis”. In few people the
hair re-grows . But the
hair loss may occur once again. This is an
autoimmune disease.
