I would be so greatful if u could spend some time to reply my mail. and tell me some steps to help me get my hair back and stop the hair fall. May god bless u.

Answer
You are not going bald because of masturbation. Rogaine does not stop the hairs from getting the message to die and you need to block the DHT which is causing your baldness. The only medicine that does that is Propecia. Ask your doctor for a prescription for Propecia.
