So How Does Azelaic Acid Work On Dht?

[neddy2016]

Am i right in thinking that azelaic acid stops testosterone from converting to DHT? i have heard people say it straight out kills the DHT. but does that mean more testosterone on the scalp?

I'm no expert, but I think azelaic acid doesn't affect DHT. It can slightly reduce inflammation so that your scalp will be feel healthier (less itch and redness). I saw that some homemade lotions contain azelaic acid, it will help a bit but don't expect anything outstanding.

It has a small effect on inhibiting dht. I used to buy it mixed in with minoxidil but didn't see a better result so use ordinary min now with finasteride for years.
