I'm really worried about my hair loss. The crown of my head is almost bald now, but thankfully the rest of my hair seems okay. I'm wondering, is there really a medication out there that can reverse this permanently? And if medication can't cut it, what other steps should I consider taking?

Hair loss on the crown area, known as male pattern baldness, can be treated with medication to some extent. One of the most common medications for this is Finasteride, which is taken orally once a day. Another option is Minoxidil, which is a topical solution applied to the scalp twice a day. These medications can help slow down hair loss and promote some regrowth, but results vary from person to person. It's important to note that these medications need to be used continuously to maintain any benefits. If medication alone is not providing satisfactory results, another option to consider is hair transplant surgery. This involves moving hair follicles from areas of the scalp where hair is thicker to the balding areas. This can provide a more permanent solution to hair loss on the crown. It's best to consult with a dermatologist or a hair specialist to discuss the most suitable treatment option for your specific situation.

I've been using HH Zole cream on my face for a couple of years now, like every week on the 7th day, just as a regular face cream. Initially, I got it to treat an itching problem, which cleared up, but I kept using it. Could this be harmful if I continue this way? Is there something I should be worried about?
