    GlossaryTemporal Hair Loss (temporal alopecia)

    gradual hair thinning at the temples

    Temporal hair loss, also known as temporal alopecia or thinning hair at the temples, refers to the gradual loss of hair in the temple regions of the scalp. This condition can be caused by various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, or certain medical conditions. It is often an early sign of androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) and can be addressed through treatments like topical minoxidil, oral medications, or lifestyle changes.

      community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

      in Research/Science  17 upvotes 2 weeks ago
      Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

They are experiencing continuous shedding and thinning, and it is suggested they consult a dermatologist for a scalp examination and possible biopsy to determine if it's alopecia areata or androgenetic alopecia.
