    TLDR Androgenetic alopecia is a condition causing noticeable hair loss, especially in middle age, which is more severe than normal balding.
    The document "Androgenetic Alopecia" from 1995 discussed the progression of androgenetic alopecia (A.a), a condition that causes hair loss. The term "androgenetic" was first used by Ludwig in 1962, combining "androgen" and "genetic". The paper noted that all humans naturally become progressively balder, but the progression of A.a is more noticeable in the middle decades of life, transitioning into senile involution alopecia later in life. The key difference between normal balding and A.a is that the latter condition's advanced signs appear at an earlier age.

      community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

      in Research/Science  65 upvotes 1 year ago
      Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.
