Alopecia androgenetica is the medical term used to refer to hereditary hair loss. Inherited hypersensitivity of the hair follicles to androgens, particularly to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), causes the hair follicles to degenerate progressively. This affects both men and women, with the main difference being in the way it progresses.
The more advanced the degeneration of the hair follicles is, the more severe the hair loss will be.
Bald spots should be treated as early as possible.
One should also aim to preserve and strengthen existing hair structure.
