Let's focus on the FUNDAMENTALS, not the little details (Topicals)

You'd think with that information, scientists would focus more on the genetic structure of each of the two follicles rather than trying to determine what causes the follicle to die off. I know that there are some studies that claim DHT is part of the cause, but since DHT is systemic, all follicles are exposed. This leads me to believe that DHT is not bad. It's probably needed in the system for something. :) It's like the sun and someone with a fair complexion. The person with the fair complexion will take more damage than the person with a darker complexion. It's the genetic structure of the skin that matters, not the sun. ;)
