There are a huge number of cause of hair loss, including chemotherapy, Alopecia - which can be hereditary and cause hair loss and baldness (and can be connected to either that of the mother or the fathers' genes), psoriasis and hair loss simply caused by stress. Most forms of hair loss can be treated, although not all can totally cure you of all hair loss, and treatments must be adapted to the individual due to side effects of certain medications.
There are medications, herbal / natural and chemical based, that can be tried on many of us suffering from forms of balding and hair loss from the scalp or other parts of the body.
Who to see
A Doctor or other Health Professional is the most sensible place to start. Most doctors are able to prescribe medications that are suitable for use on your hair, scalp or body and in more serious cases they can send you on to a specialist if required.
However, for those that would prefer to try something they can order without prescription and have delivered to your home, there are many suppliers and web stores that can provide you with suitable treatments although it is advised you visit a trusted site - one which has been recommended - in order that you get the best advice from the best source. It is impossible to monitor each and every website promoting drugs and other treatments, so act cautiously.
Realistic hair loss treatments
The most valuable treatments recommended are going to come from trusted sources. If you really insist on bypassing your general practitioner or Doctor, then by visiting the actual site of the manufacturer you should obtain sensible advice about what that product contains. You will also benefit from knowing who can and cannot take the medication as suppliers have to be extremely careful and you have to be made aware of any side effects of that medication if you decide to take at your own risk.
A realistic treatment will be one which is supported by facts and figures from numerous tests that have previously been carried out. Bear in mind that research like this has important substance, and you should look into any claims like this further, if necessary.
For instance, one site I found promoting Minoxidil had a very impressive list of how the product can be used but I did not see any support for research and studies that have taken place. I would be inclined to look into this further before buying, regardless of how good the explanation sounds. Even when there are figures to back up any claims, like one site I discover supporting Propecia, it is wise to seek further advice.
Sources of hair loss information
All I would suggest under this heading is to remember that when you source information from websites that are not recommended by trusted bodies, act cautiously if only to protect yourself from side effects that may occur during use.
Hair loss can make you very insecure but please be act sensibly when selecting treatments for yourself and others.
