Baldness (Hair Loss) Preview

Hair loss can begin in a few hairs in the sink or over a comb. Later, you can go bare scalp.

Baldness typically refers to excessive hair loss from your scalp and may be the result of heredity, certain medications or an underlying medical condition. Anyone - men, women and children - can experience hair loss.

Some people prefer to let their baldness run its course without treatment and without disguise. Others may be covered with hair, makeup, hats or scarves. And still others choose one of the medications and surgical procedures available to treat hair loss. Before continuing any treatment option, talk to your doctor about the cause and best treatment for hair loss.
