What is male pattern baldness?

Male pattern baldness can affect males as young as 17 years of age but it most commonly begins in their thirties or forties. It is the most common type of hair loss and it affects around 50% of males over 5o years of age. It usually affects the areas around the crown or temple of the scalp.
