So... anyone ever use that kind of stuff before? Balding seems to happen in my family, my dad is balding, my granddad is/was balding on both sides. Trying to stop that from happening to me. I am not balding or anything yet but there has been some thinning over the course of the last few years. It comes and goes.

Anyone ever use this stuff? About to try to find a dermatologists (that's how I see, right?) to get me some.

My brother is bald and I can convince myself that I see the thinning hair on top, but I'm sticking with denial for now. Personally I'm gonna opt for the keep the hair cut really short, grow a beard, and have a distractingly fit body option. Seems cheaper and better in the long run...

Yep, Aon... The mother passes it on...

And sorry, Intex... There's no real way to prevent balding...

My brother is bald, and I'm not... I mock him ALL the time about having a full head of hair...

Simple Rogaine seems healthier, even if you have to keep using it or lose it.

Huh?? I thought it is supposed to prevent prostate cancer? Right now as is my chances of getting prostate cancer is MUCH higher due to how much free testosterone I have. I've been doing cardio and yoga to reduce my reductase but it really is having almost no effect so far.

In wikipedia is says it could decrease prostate cancer by up to 30%. It does increase male breast cancer though... which breast cancer also runs in my family
