Nothing derogatory about baldness
Health Care February 25th, 2011
Baldness can be a very sensitive issue for majority of men who suffer from it. Living in a time studded with individuals such as Bruce Willis, Michael Jordan and Andre Agassi (and these are the people we know very well; don’t forget there are millions of bare-headed men doing fine in their respective fields of work), it is rather unfortunate that many people still mock (sometimes derisively and sometimes pseudo-affectionately) at men suffering from hair loss. They remain completely indifferent to the touchy issues that are usually involved with baldness. It is often seen that many bald men, particularly those who have lost their hair at a young age, feel shy about their condition and hesitate to interact with others fearing that they might be laughed at.
The most pernicious side of our collective cruelty to bald people manifests itself within social situations. Imagine a bald man walking into a gathering and someone passing a funny-to-me-but-not-to-you remark at him, aimed at his bald head. The bald man may simply laugh along with others at that moment but chances are high that he may feel hurt and avoid similar situations later on. Yes, it is true that suffering from androgenic alopecia is not funny and you should be extremely careful not to hurt other people’s sentiments.
What you can do, however, is to suggest medical treatment to your acquaintance or friend who has male pattern baldness. It is a progressive type of hair loss, meaning that a man can keep losing his hair over a long period of time. Early treatment with Propecia finasteride can be helpful in preventing complete baldness. This FDA-approved medicine can also trigger new hair growth if taken as directed by a doctor. Help a bald man, who may be low in confidence, overcome his problem so that he can comfortably mingle with everyone.
