The difference between androgenic alopecia and seborrheic alopecia

There is no difference between androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic alopecia, which are two different names for the same condition. Androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness, is a genetic and androgen-dependent form of hair loss with a family history and is most common in men, but can also occur in women. The main manifestation is that the hair on both sides of the forehead starts to become thin and soft and gradually extends to the top of the head, the frontal hairline pushes back, and the hair on the top of the head starts to gradually fall out, showing M-shaped hair loss as the disease progresses, and in more severe cases, defeat of the top. There is no good effective treatment for this disease in western medicine, usually oral spironolactone or finasteride tablets, with topical application of 5% minoxidil tincture solution. It is recommended that oral Chinese medicine to regulate the effect is better, generally need to treat 3-6 months of time.
