AB Female  pattern  hair  loss  presents  with  a  diffuse  thinning  of  the  mid-scalp  with  a  characteristic  maintenance  of  the  frontal  hairline.  It  may  also  present  with  the  typical  bitemporal  hair  recession  seen  in  male  pattern  hair  loss.  Parietal  and  occipital  hairs  are  usually  unaffected.  Female  pattern  hair  loss  is  particularly  problematic  for  women  for  whom  hair  loss  produces  greater  social  and  self-esteem  difficulties  than  for  men  with  male  pattern  hair  loss  (Figs.  20.1  and  20.2).
