You would have surely come across term “common baldness”. It is a typical condition related to male-pattern baldness. This type of baldness generally occurs because of hereditary trait. The hairline recedes with baldness occurring on top of head. Female-pattern baldness is characterized by thinning of hair over whole scalp.

Before devising a treatment for your hair loss, you will have to know underlining cause behind it. If problem has triggered because of hormonal imbalance or medicinal effect it can be corrected. You can slow down development of baldness by applying minoxidil (brand name: Rogaine) on your scalp. While minoxidil is available even without prescription, you can get finasteride (brand name: Propecia) under prescription. If you do not find adequate treatment of hair loss for you, you can also think of hairpieces, wigs and hair weaves as substitutes.

The exact cause of acne is unknown, but doctors believe it results from several related factors. Perhaps most important factor is increase in hormones called androgens (male sex hormones). These increase in both sexes during puberty and cause sebaceous glands to enlarge and produce more sebum. Another important factor is heredity or genetics. Researchers have found that a tendency to develop acne can be inherited from parents. Using greasy cosmetics may also contribute by altering cells and plugging pores.

While many people think that acne treatment is simply popping each pimple as it appears, this method will actually make your condition worse in long run. This process is likely to lead to unsightly and life-long scarring. Reliable and dependable acne treatment requires a certain amount of patience since medications may not work initially. You may have to try several medications before finding one that works for you. As with most other medical conditions there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution for treatment of acne.

Despite possible difficulties, acne is a treatable condition. The goals are to heal existing lesions, stop new lesions from forming, prevent scarring and minimize psychological stress that comes from decreased self-esteem, anger, depression and frustration caused by appearance of pimples.
