      learn Azelaic Acid

      • azelaic acid: Does it work for all types of hair loss or just DHT? One small randomised trial (26 women, no placebo) found no significant difference between 5% azelaic acid and 2% minoxidil for female pattern hair loss, which is too small to show they work equally well, and the anti-DHT rationale rests on laboratory work.
