Consultants Balding can be a disease, a form of an autoimmune disorder, called alopecia areata.
Hair falls out in clumps from different spots on the head.
A more drastic form called alopecia totalis results in all the hair from the head falling out. Either way, the result is, for most people, a cosmetic disaster. AGA is treated with minoxidil but not very effectively. It prevents hair loss better than it restores hair. Other products claim effectiveness by unclogging hair follicles but they don't work at all.
