This article claims we should just all accept male pattern baldness its just part of the grand course of nature! I actually hate this whole line of thinking. I realize this article is pretty stupid, but this whole idea of not worrying what you look like is ignorant. Why do women and men try to fight wrinkles, grey hair, or any other signs of aging? They must just accept everyone ages right.

"You can't cure something that is a normal physiological happening," he says.
"You're fighting your genetic programming. And to do that you have to do it forever or until you don't care."
But is baldness something that even needs to be "cured"?
Dr Fenton says the shaved look adopted by Dwayne Johnson and others is an approach that would best suit a lot of men.

This kind of crap from a doctor is the exact problem. Oh look the rock can pull it off! Why do you care what you look just be more like the rock! Does male pattern baldness even need a cure? Im sure this doctor is putting effort into researching or contributing to it versus spouting off this nonsense.

Interesting, the rock likely has been using drugs since 16.college no doubt. It probably sped up the process. Amplifier. Not causality. It was set in motion by the genetic precursor. Steroids are not the cause but it acceleration to the process. Accutane is another.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Can you guess which this guy is?

Why do you say accutane can speed up the process ?
I took both, roids and accutane. I know roids speed up the process causing high dht levels. But accutane ? Can you explains that ? Thanks

All these articles ever do is inspire me further to do something about hair loss. That's why communities like this exist on the internet. Do any of these 'experts' actually think preaching a load of self-acceptance bullshit will actually work on us?

Hairloss is definitely a side effect of accutane. I used to take it in high school and I clearly remember freaking out when bundles of my hair would fall out. Mind you this was when I was a power fullhead with long, thick hair, so it wasn't so big of a deal. The hairloss stopped after I stopped taking it (and then came back when I was around 25 in the form of good ol' male pattern baldness).
But yes, my dermatologist at the time told me about hairloss from accutane and he was indeed correct. (Not saying it will necessarily happen to anyone though).

My father has hair loss but he was 60+ which is common.

Youtuber psychedelic substance went bald. Is currently bald. Why male pattern baldness genes. Accutane did it.


Listen to his story. I follow his psyched substance channel.

I took it and started a account thereafter.

This is my story. 80mg for 6months. I stopped at 4/5 months in. My God, I would have been a thumb if I kept mucking Accutane. It made me do sick. The stuff is poison. It ended acne knock on wood.

It wasn't until the 1980s that the first real breakthrough in the science of hair loss treatment took place, when scientists discovered the blood pressure drug minoxidil caused hair growth as a side-effect.

This led experts to look for ways to repurpose the drug to treat hair loss, eventually creating a lotion that could be applied to the scalp.

The next major treatment came when scientists found that some bald men given tablets aimed at preventing the prostate from enlarging started to re-grow their hair.

The drug, now sold as finasteride, blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone - a process that happens in people who are balding.

The two drugs are the most common treatments for male pattern baldness in the UK."

What terrible descriptions of minoxidil and fina lol. Very few people take minoxidil as a "lotion" and the DHT conversion happens in everyone. f*****g clueless.

I'd expect better from the BBC. Fake news.
