PY - 2011 T2 - Color Atlas of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2e AB - Male pattern hair loss classically presents with bitemporal hair loss that progresses to the loss of hair on the vertex, frontal, and temporal scalp. Parietal and occipital hairs are usually unaffected. It is a nonscarring form of alopecia that occurs in genetically susceptible males. The gradual involuntary loss of hair does change the natural frame hair provides around our face. The gradual loss of hair resulting in an involuntary change in appearance creates varying degree of emotional and psychological stress. Many men seek treatment for male pattern hair loss because of unhappiness with its cosmetic appearance and association with aging. SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
