Question 1

what is baldness or hair loss and why? how could grow up hair once again on the scalp?

Accepted Answer

Hair loss: Male pattern baldness is related to your genes and male sex hormones. It usually follows a pattern of receding hairline and hair thinning on the crown, and is caused by hormones and genetic predisposition.
Each strand of hair you have sits in a tiny hole (cavity) in the skin called a follicle. Baldness in general occurs when the hair follicle shrinks over time, resulting in shorter and finer hair.

Question 2

Question 3

what is a burning bald spot on the head is cause from?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say.: Most bald spots on the head are caused by something called alopecia areata, which is a harmless, self-limited condition. But aa doesn't usually burn, so it could be something else that will need a personal examination to determine precisely. I suggest that you see a dermatologist and get a precise diagnosis.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Focal alopecia: loss of hair in otherwise hairy areas of the body may be normal or related to a fungal skin infection. please get examined by a dermatologist or private physician.

Question 6

why is my baby bald?

Accepted Answer

"resting phase": For those who remember all the steps of mitosis from high school, they remember that after anaphase and telophase (the dna splits up to form two distinct nucleii), the cells rest. If there's a major shock to the system, the cells enter a second resting phase, then "die" while new cells pop up. Thus from birth, the hair cells enter resting phase, and hair falls out, to be replaced in a few months.

Question 7

why do people become bald?

Accepted Answer

Many Possible Causes: People can develop baldness (alopecia) for many reasons, including breakage of hair from straighteners or dyes; certain skin diseases that cause destruction of the hair follicles, autoimmune disease, hormonal imbalance, iron deficiency, vitamin b deficiency, chemotherapy, shedding after illness, shedding after pregnancy, genetic factors, or alopecia areata.

Question 8

what am i going bald at 27?

Accepted Answer

Genetics: In all likelihood this is male pattern baldness which is genetic.

Question 9

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.

Question 10

why hairy men tend to be bald?

Accepted Answer

Same genes: The more chest and back hair a man is naturally blessed with, the faster his hair regresses on his scalp. This is quite a close correlation. Some treatment options are available for loss of scalp hair, or the man can embrace his masculinity and heritage and remember that 95% of good looks is physical fitness. Photo guy isn't complaining.
