How To Treat Common Baldness
The term "common baldness" usually means male-pattern
baldness. Male-pattern baldness is the most common cause of
hair loss in men. Men who have this type of hair loss
usually have inherited the trait. Men who start losing
their hair at an early age tend to develop more extensive
baldness.
In male-pattern baldness, hair loss typically results in a
receding hairline and baldness on the top of the head.
Women may develop female-pattern baldness. In this form,
the hair becomes thin over the entire scalp.
One person that can help you is perhaps your doctor. It
could be related to your diet, any medicines you're taking,
whether you've had a recent illness and how you take care
of your hair. For a woman, it may be related to your
menstrual cycle, pregnancies and menopause.
The doctor may want to do a physical exam to look for other
causes of hair loss. Finally, blood tests or a biopsy
(taking a small sample of cells to examine under a
microscope) of your scalp may be needed.
Depending on your type of hair loss, treatments are
available. If a
medicine is causing your hair loss, your
doctor may be able to prescribe a different medicine.
Recognizing and treating an infection may help stop the
hair loss. Correcting a hormone imbalance may prevent
further hair loss.
Medicines may help in slowing down or preventing the
development of common baldness. One medicine, minoxidil
(brand name: Rogaine), is available without a prescription.
It is applied to the scalp. Both men and women can use it.
Another medicine, finasteride (brand name: Propecia) is
available with a prescription. It comes in pills and is
only for men. It may take up to 6 months before you can
tell if one of these medicines is working.
If adequate treatment is not available for your type of
hair loss, you may consider trying different hairstyles or
wigs, hairpieces, hair weaves or artificial hair
replacement.
