Hi all,
First up, I'm not talking about a 5a-reductase inhibitor, I saw somewhere there was something that acted directly on DHT itself and make it ineffective, which was theorised as a scalp treatment would be more effective than inhibiting 5a-reductase, as the DHT would be present in the blood stream before being deposited in the scalp.
I think it was RU- something.
Second, don't kill me, I have no hair loss issues at all, but I'm curious about a few things.
Assuming we have something that can effectively bind to or remove DHT topically in that local area, that should be good for scalp treatment of hair loss, but what I am curious about is, shouldn't this also inhibit bodily hair growth (When applied topically to those areas)? Since DHT is responsible for secondary characteristics of bodily hair.
