A member asked:
Is male pattern baldness is completely controlled?thx
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Male Pattern : 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. Treatments include Minoxidil and propecia (finasteride). The medications together are about 83% effective.
