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.
