I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist for an evaluation and to start treatment to prevent further loss.  Best, Dr. Emer.

If you are having shortness of breath and chest pains go see a doctor ASAP. It may be a side effect or a heart attack.  Call your doctor now.

Posting photos of yourself cannot determine you if you are going bald, especially if there are no BEFORE photos.  If you believe you are going bald see a doctor for a proper exam.

After a wound or a scar (having stitches) there will likely be local hair loss.  This hair loss is in most cases permanent.

There is no cure for genetic balding in men. There are some medical and surgical options. See a doctor first. Natural remedies do not work.

It is best you get a combination approach for best results.  If you decrease the rogaine, you likely will lose what you had already maintained.  Best, Dr. Emer.
