Sebum and anti dandruff shampoos may slow or stop baldness?

[robodoc]

This was a quote from a Ray Peat PhD forum: think sebum/dht is a cause?

"Also Fungus on scalp make PUFA... which might create enough inflammation to locally trigger hair loss. Which stinks because avoiding dietary PUFA doesn't stop those stinkers from making it.

And if androgens increase sebum production, that could be a possible explanation for male pattern baldness... Malassezia"

I say try a good antidandruff shampoo for a 3 months and see if it helps. What do you have to lose? Leave on the scalp for 10-15 minutes is what I do.
