Fair point. I don't think there are any contexts in contemporary Japanese where referring to a bald person as a "はげ" wouldn't be considered derogatory (or at the very least impolite).

  Comments:
禿げ is [io] for this (= gerund form of 禿げる)

it doesn't make sense to me to have "bald person" in one sense and "baldy" in another.  they both have the same meaning, just a different nuance.  i think they should be together.
