📋Overview
Baldness is a term frequently used to describe androgenetic alopecia, which is characterized by the progressive thinning of hair in specific patterns. This condition is a common form of hair loss that may affect both males and females, often resulting in a receding hairline or generalized thinning across the scalp.
While the term is most closely linked to hereditary hair loss, it can also encompass other variations of hair shedding that are either temporary or permanent. Clinical observation suggests that this hair loss can be localized to the scalp or may involve the entire body depending on the underlying biological circumstances.
