June 2021 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This correspondence reports that some men with androgenetic alopecia can exhibit hair thinning patterns more typical of females, with variations observed between Australian and Korean populations.
2 citations
,
January 2021 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This pilot study found that examining changes in scalp scales after scraping may effectively distinguish seborrheic dermatitis associated with androgenetic alopecia from fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution.
