This monograph provides specialists and primary care physicians who are interested

in men, covering such aspects as clinical examination, the role of trichoscopy
and the trichogram, laboratory work-up, and scalp biopsy. Diagnosis and treatment
are then described in depth for a diverse range of conditions involving alopecia.
Expert opinion is combined with the results of evidence-based medicine to provide
the best current advice, highlighting the synergistic action of combination
regimens and adjuvant treatments and explaining the concept of multitargeted
treatment. All aspects of follow-up are covered, including compliance issues
and expectation management. The role of hair care and cosmetics is also considered,
