How can I keep from going bald?
Expert answerThanks for your question. Male pattern baldness (also called androgenetic alopecia) is the most common cause of hair loss. It tends to run in families and can start as early as the teen years. This type of hair loss affects about one-third of men and women, but while men may lose most or all of their hair, women typically just have thinning. Males are more prone to the condition if other males in the family have had hair loss, and women tend to take after other women in the family who have had thinning hair. This type of hair loss is thought to be caused by an imbalance of hormones causing an increased amount of DHT, or dihydrotestosterone, and may have a genetic link to a part of the X chromosome.
I consulted with a dermatologist, Dr. Jeffrey Benabio of The Derm Blog , who shared the following information:
Progression of hair loss can be stopped or slowed by using minoxidil 5 percent topical solution (Rogaine) twice daily. For men, an oral medication called finasteride (Propecia) also helps stop hair loss by blocking the production of DHT. It takes several months for these treatments to start working, and hair loss will begin again if the medications are stopped.
