The most common type of male pattern baldness is androgenetic alopecia, which accounts for 95% of baldness cases. It can also appear in women with some variations and in a smaller – although not negligible – percentage. Unlike other types of hair loss, androgenetic alopecia is not associated with inflammation or scarring.
