Male Pattern Baldness
Losing your hair can be discouraging, but we offer many treatments at Goodman Dermatology that can help slow hair loss and even start hair regrowth.
What Is Male Pattern Baldness?
Male pattern baldness, also called alopecia, is a condition characterized by permanent hair loss on the scalp. In women, this condition is called female pattern baldness. Either male or female pattern baldness symptoms can be frustrating, as it is difficult to conceal and can be slow to stop. For men, symptoms often include a receding hair line and a loss of hair on the crown of the head. For women, symptoms often include a thinning of the hair through the part.
