There are many hair loss myths and fallacies promoted by people who don’t know what they are saying. You might have heard for example people saying that one of the major reason for male pattern baldness is dandruff but this is really not true. Male pattern baldness is a genetic condition and getting rid of your dandruff will not stop it. However there is some truth in the statement that dandruff can accelerate and aggravate hair loss which is initially caused by genetic male pattern baldness. If you are experiencing some hair loss it is important to keep your scalp and hair healthy so that you do not weaken your hair follicles further.

Another hair loss myth that we come across often is that you inherit your hair loss from your grandfather on your mother’s side of the family. This again is simply not true and you are just as likely to inherit your genetic male pattern baldness from your father’s side of the family. Some people even believe that by wearing a cap or a hat too often is the reason why men go bald. Again this is a load of rubbish.
It is important to get proper professional medical advice if you start to experience male pattern baldness and you should not rely on chatting to someone in a pub or speaking to a friend about it because the probability is you will get bad advice. At Ukmedix it is possible to get an online consultation from a doctor who will give you proper medical advice.
It is possible to stop male pattern baldness in the majority of cases and it is essential that you act sooner rather than later. The longer that you take to get medical advice about your male pattern baldness the higher the chances that any medication will be ineffective.
Take the bull by the horns and act now!
