Genetic male pattern hair loss or MPB does not involve itchy or tender scalp.  If you have these symptoms you should see a doctor for an examination.

An itchy scalp can rarely be associated with early male pattern balding - but it's pretty rare. An "inflamed" scalp is never part of the picture.You'll want to see a dermatologist to review the causes of an itchy, inflamed scalp.

The use of Nixoral shampoo may not help and may itself cause itchiness. I usually use the drug Alevicyn for the itch.
