Like can it cause dht in the scalp to rise if I use azeliac acid on the face only to remove dht from my face?

if I’m not using it on my scalp as well/any other anti androgen on the scalp?

I would use azeliac acid on my scalp but I don’t because idk if it’s okay to use on scalp with all the other ingredients in it, it’s from the ordinary.

all other ingredients are:

Aqua (Water), Isodecyl Neopentanoate, Dimethicone, Azelaic Acid, Dimethicone/Bis-isobutyl PPG-20 Crosspolymer, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Hydroxyethyl Acryalte/sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Polysilicone-11, Isohexadecane, Tocopherol, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Isoceteth-20, Polysorbate 60, Triethanolamine, Ethoxydiglycol, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin.

Yeah not sure if that would be okay to put on scalp

Yes, when the scalp lacks DHT it starts sucking DHT from nearby tissues, if you reduce DHT on the face it got less places to suck from.
Wait what? You’re saying yes but then you’re saying if I reduce face dht it has less places to suck it from

will removing dht from the face ONLY(not scalp) cause a rise in scalp dht or opposite?

That's not the most scientific rendering but I have wondered myself whether beard removal would be beneficial to hair regrowth for this very reason. It might account for minoxidil beards leading to even more scalp hair loss which I find to be hilarious.

He's joking. It won't do anything to scalp DHT.
