Therapeutic approaches to the management of common baldness.

Common baldness or androgenetic alopecia is a universal problem, having affected both sexes of all races to different extents for as long as mankind has existed. The progressive androgen dependent hair loss follows specific patterns and is a physiological process, which may take on disease quality due to psychosocial compontents. These should be taken into consideration when discussing the several treatment options available, particularly as a cure cannot be offered. Cosmetic measures range from back-combing over perms to hairpieces and wigs. Medical therapies include systemic antiandrogens and topical minoxidil; surgical options comprise follicular transplantation, scalp reduction and rotation. Before starting treatment, however, careful consideration should be given to the differential diagnosis which includes drug-induced hair thinning, anagen effluvium, diffuse alopecia areata, metabolic disturbances, nutritional deficiencies and acute as well as chronic telogen effluvium.
