Androgenic alopecia: See your dermatologist for evaluation and discussion of your therapeutic options. Finasteride (propecia) is the best hair growth product for balding men with androgeneic alopecia topical Minoxidil solution is helpful for some people. Hair transplantation is available for appropriate candidates.

Curse?: Man up. Given all the terrible things that life can give you, hair loss is trivial. Your physician can recommend a variety of medical and surgical treatments; you'll need to decide what's right. And for a man, 95% of looking good is fitness. Hit the gym / athletics club and you'll see many men who choose a totally smooth body to embrace their masculinity. Fitness and body pride are blessings.
