Males suffering from this condition lose hair from the temples and the crown of the head. According to the most experienced dermatologists in Delhi, this condition can start at any point in time as the person ages. In men, hair is lost in a well-defined pattern beginning from the temples.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
