Male seborrheic alopecia is also called androgenetic alopecia, which is related to excessive secretion of endogenous androgens leading to vigorous secretion of sebaceous glands. Excessive secretion of sebaceous glands makes the hair follicles loose and buoyant, so the hair roots are not firm and will fall out. It is also related to family genetics; most men in the same family will exhibit similar symptoms of hair loss. Once this condition occurs, formal treatment can bring about some improvement. However, most men may experience recurrent hair loss as they age into their 40s or 50s, and this hair loss is irreversible. Generally speaking, it becomes difficult to completely cure with age.
