As someone with a race in my head between white hairs and a receding hairline, hair loss does afflict millions of people, but it has no medical impact on people

As someone with a race in my head between white hairs and a receding hairline, hair loss does afflict millions of people, but it has no medical impact on people's life, beyond increasing the need to wear a hat when outside in the Sun for long. Is it that surprising that medical professionals would spend their time on other afflictions instead?

- BobaFloutist 10mo agoThat sounds like a social concern, not a medical one.
- missedthecue 10mo agoA social concern where the path of least resistance toward resolution is probably effective medical advancements. For example, studies show bald men face greater challenges in both straight and gay dating in every country where it's researched (so it's not cultural context dependent). Probably easier to figure out the follicular science than change universal attraction preferences.
