<unk>  also known as androgenetic alopecia is a<unk>  loss condition that primarily affects the top and front of the scalp. In male-pattern<unk>  loss (MPHL), the<unk>  loss typically presents itself as either a receding front<unk> line, loss of<unk>  on the crown (vertex) of the scalp, or a combination of both. Female-pattern<unk>  loss (FPHL) typically presents as a diffuse thinning of the<unk>  across the entire scalp. Male<unk>  seems to be due to a combination of genetics and circulating androgens, particularly dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The cause in female<unk>  remains unclear. Management may include simply accepting the condition or shaving one's head to improve the aesthetic aspect of the condition. Otherwise, common medical treatments include minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride, or<unk>  transplant surgery. Use of finasteride and dutasteride in women is not well-studied and may result in birth defects if taken during pregnancy.<unk>  by the age of 50 affects about half of males and a quarter of females. It is the most common cause of<unk>  loss.
