We all know that DHT is the main factor in hair loss. It attacks our hair follicles preventing them from growing.
But did you ever consider that inflammation could also be involved in your balding?

Alopecia areata is a disorder characterized by inflammation of the bulb, which shrivels and ultimately stops producing hair. There’s accumulating evidence that the role of inflammation in the etiology (the cause or origin of disease) of hair loss. Data that leads us to believe that inflammation which actually accompanies alopecia is an important factor. Inflammation can actually increase the progression of your hair loss by promoting telogen effluvium (an abnormal loss of hair due to alteration of the normal hair cycle) Normally, most of the hairs are in the growth stage and only one hundred hairs per day fall from the scalp. When telogen effluvium occurs, a greater proportion of the hairs enter the resting phase of the cycle and hair shedding is greater than normal. Inflammation can also induce perifollicular fibrosis (the enlargement of the follicular dermal sheath composed of collagen bundles which form to develop excess fibrous connective tissue in an organ and scarring).

The fact you might see some redness in an individual whose losing his hair is indicative that inflammation is a factor. DHT causes a change in the hair follicle. It’s still uncertain as to why the change takes place but the change sends a signal to our immune system to attack the hair follicle. The attack causes inflammation.

If you suffer from excessive scalp tenderness, itchiness and/or scalp pimples, you may be showing symptoms of DHT inflammation

It’s fair to say if you don’t stop DHT entirely, inflammation will still occur. Thus producing hair loss. There are numerous hair loss products on the market today. One such product that addresses these two issues is RK19. It blocks DHT driven inflammation at the root. Thereby allowing the necessary nutrients to reach your dead hair follicles and reviving them. RK19 has worked on individuals who’ve been balding for over twenty years.

Before taking any medications always consult your physician first.

This now makes sense. My scalp was always sensitive to the touch and I also have hair loss.

I'm a 22 year old female, and I have been experiencing hair loss since I was 18 years old. I saw the dermatologist was diagnosed with sebbhoreic dermatitis and have used loprox, olux, diprolene, and head and shoulders and I still shed a lot. My hair is thin (it used to be extremely thick). I also have a few scalp pimples, itchiness, and pain on the crown of my scalp. I continue to use the products mentioned above and I still have these symptoms. Can this be something other than sebborheic dermatitis?

I find this article very interesting, however I cannot tell whether you're trying to sell a product or just being informative. If my accusation is wrong, then forgive me.
