Hair loss: Rogaine (minoxidil) or Propecia can try to minimize this and keep it at bay for now.

See a dermatologist: Begin with a precise diagnosis. Meanwhile you can begin to use minoxidil solution. The 2% is nearly as effective as 5% but costs less. Not all hair loss is the same and the treatment varies.
