Question 1

could segals solution cure hereditary baldness?

Accepted Answer

Think about it: Don't spend too much money on this herbal concoction. If stuff like this actually worked, the dermatology community would have snapped it up as organized medicine has snapped up other natural plant-based remedies that work, and so would the international espionage community (there would be no bald men in the cia). These folks pray on others' wishful thinking & frustration.

Question 2

is there a way to get rid of hereditary baldness?

Accepted Answer

Inhjerited baldness: Genetic hair loss, called male patterned baldness, is found in men, when there is a family history of similar hair loss. It often begins after puberty, the time that male hormones are made by the testes. Acne is also a male hormone disease.Older women, who lack female hormones, also get inherited alopecia. This can be treated, but not cured with minoxidil, as a lotion, or finasteride, as a tablet.

Question 3

hi drs. i'm 21
1 month ago i noticed that my hair starts to fall
my dr said that it is hereditary baldness and i must use menoxidile forever as ttt ?

Accepted Answer

Baldness: Is there indeed baldness in your family by age 20? 
Quite unlikely.
That said, if my thoughts are wrong and you are losing hair I would recommend a referral to a Dermatologist.

Question 4

i  a girl 24 years old - is minoxidil use in treatment genetic baldness and what the name of the best product for the treatment of hereditary baldness?

Accepted Answer

The effect of: Minoxidil in the treatment of baldness is very modest . There is really no effective treatment for hereditary baldness . The hair transplant specialists states that they get good result . It is a very expensive procedure . You might  have couple of opinions with hair transplant specialist about the success rate , price , risk and benefit, .

Question 5

can a man get hereditary alopecia at a young age even if the other men in the family did not lose hair until late in life?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Everyone's genetically different (well, just about) since your environment will also affect how your genes present themselves. My point is that it's quite possible for someone to lose their hair earlier than everyone else in the family. If it's typical male pattern baldness, we can offer Finasteride & Minoxidil to try to slow down loss. But beware of side effects like gynecomastia, etc.

Question 6

can a man get hereditary alopecia at a young age if his father has not lost hair till about 50 or older?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Everyone's genetically different (well, just about) since your environment will also affect how your genes present themselves.

If it's typical male pattern baldness, we can offer Finasteride & Minoxidil to try to slow down loss. But beware of side effects like gynecomastia, etc.

Question 7

have been having intense hairfall and thinning of hair.what all tests can be performed to assess the cause behind the hairfall.no hereditery baldness?

Accepted Answer

Some ideas: If you're not a thick-bearded, super-hairy-chested guy, you won't get heavy-duty male pattern baldness in your twenties. I'm going to assume you've had your thyroid checked, and that this doesn't look clinically like alopecia areata or a brutal fungus infection. Most likely it's telogen effluvium ("shedding"), which generally self-cures. Trusting you're adequately nourished. Best wishes.

Question 8

female baldness, dermatologist can't find the cause, blood/vitamins are good, not hereditary. what are de do's and dont's like oils/products/vitamins?

Accepted Answer

Alopecia??: He should get a punch biopsy and possibly inject depot steroids into your scalp.

Question 9

hereditary hair loss, if dht is produced in all men even in men with a full head of hair, then how is it genetic and the main cause of baldness?

Accepted Answer

Good question: A good, but tough question. If you are genetically predisposed to the early loss of hair then your hair follicles may not be responding to the Dht that is present. Without seeing you it is always possible that your pattern of hair loss is not genetic. Seeing a dermatologist would be your best option to clarify this and if there would be any treatment necessary.

Question 10

is baldness always hereditary?

Accepted Answer

Causes of "baldness": Alopecia is commonly known as hair loss, hair thinning, & balding.  While genetic causes (like male pattern balding) are common, other causes exist: hormones, infections, autoimmune causes, metabolic (e.g. Chemotherapy), nutrition (e.g. Vitamin deficiencies), trauma (e.g. Tight braids), neoplastic (some cancers), etc.  A dermatologist can help determine the cause & discuss treatment options.
