What do you suggest if i have baldness, but no one in my family has it.?

Find cause: Classic male pattern baldness is recognizable by its distribution, and results from a complex interplay of genes. It correlates closely with the amount of chest hair you're naturally blessed with. If you suspect hair loss from some other cause (telogen effluvium, alopecia areata) get with your physician. There are treatments for male baldness as well if you wish -- again, ask.
