The 17 pages that link to Androgenetic alopecia, each with the reason it gives.

• Hair follicleRelated: Sensitive scalp follicles progressively miniaturize, producing shorter and finer hairs.

• AndrogenBroader topic: It illustrates how local androgen action can affect a specific tissue.

• DihydrotestosteroneRelated: DHT miniaturizes susceptible scalp hair follicles.

• Hair growth cycleRelated: Affected follicles progressively produce shorter, finer hairs and spend less time growing.

• Alopecia areataCompared with: Unlike alopecia areata, it is not usually an autoimmune attack and causes follicle miniaturization.

• Hair transplantationRelated: It is a common reason for transplantation, while ongoing loss can affect the eventual pattern.

• MinoxidilRelated: Topical minoxidil is a standard treatment for this common form of hair loss.

• Telogen effluviumCompared with: Unlike diffuse shedding, it typically follows characteristic patterns and progresses over time.

• FinasterideRelated: Finasteride can slow scalp hair loss by reducing dihydrotestosterone exposure in susceptible follicles.

• Scarring alopeciaCompared with: Its follicles shrink rather than being replaced by scar tissue.

• Hair growthRelated: Affected follicles progressively miniaturize and spend less time producing thick hairs.

• ScalpRelated: It alters scalp hair distribution while usually sparing characteristic donor regions.

• 5α-reductaseRelated: Reducing dihydrotestosterone can slow follicle miniaturization in susceptible people.

• Hair lossBroader topic: Follicle miniaturization produces the familiar progressive scalp patterns in genetically susceptible people.

• TrichologyBroader topic: Its gradual follicle miniaturization differs from sudden or patchy shedding.

• Comb-overRelated: It commonly creates the patterned thinning that a comb-over is intended to cover.

• Pattern hair lossBroader topic: It is the principal biological cause of patterned scalp thinning.
