Male pattern baldness is not a disease but it is a distressing condition. Like ED, baldness is extremely common and men are usually too embarrassed to seek professional help. There are, however, effective solutions.

The FDA has already approved two products for the treatment of MPB:

1) Minoxidil (brand name Rogaine)

A topical solution that should be applied everyday. The new Rogaine foam is more effective, easier to apply and doesn't irritate your scalp.

2) Finasteride (brand names Propecia, Proscar)

Propecia is the most effective baldness treatment available today and the earlier you start, the better - it works better on younger men. Propecia is a prescription drug and there could be some serious side effects (e.g. erectile dysfunction, loss of libido), so you should always consult a doctor (dermatologist) before you start your treatment.
