Re: A recently discovered new factor in AA, the cure is near 
My bottle contains 10ml and cost 6 euros. It's a 2% SCG solution. I've started putting 15 drops every 12 hours, spreading the drops all over my scalp, with the bottom of a little glass so there's no absorption by my fingers. My hair cut is super short, about 5-6 mm long so doing this is super easy. I wouldn't do this experiment otherwise. Too much pita. Of course I have absolutely no clue whether this dosage of 30 eyedrops is enough for hair loss…
The more I enquire about this whole thing and the more I think the solution is probably more complex than simply inhibiting PGD2.
"During normal follicle cycling in mice, Ptgds and PGD2 levels increase immediately preceding the regression phase, suggesting an inhibitory effect on hair growth."
So by inhibiting PGD2, are we going to stop that natural regression phase or just delay it and increase the length of the growth phase?
Cotzarelis suggested also that if PGE2 and PGF2 promote hair growth and PGD2 inhibits it, they may both balance each other and there's maybe a natural balance system for normal hair development. Applying a treatment that would block the activity of PGD2 may cause imbalance and generate other effects on hair, not necessarily desirable.
