A member asked:
My father and brother have lost hair on scalp. i have not yet suffered from hair loss. should i start taking something as a precaution. pills.rogaine.?

Maybe: If you are to be bald it would be evident by age 23. You may not need any thing, but the sooner you start the better the result. The pills are more effective but require prescription. Some people use both. If you do something the benefit goes only to those who use it religeously for many years.
