Ibuprofen Gel for Thinning Hair

Use of Anti-inflammatory on scalp ? What is your view of applying small amounts of Ibuprofen gel to thinning hair. I have read that one component of hair loss is due to an inflammation reaction within the hair follicle. Would this help reduce that effect?

There is no evidence that either topical or systemic anti-inflammatory medications prevent hair loss. If anti-inflammatory medications could stop hair loss, the people with rheumatoid diseases who have taken high doses of these medications for a long time should have had immeasurable hair on their head, yet they bald at the same rate as those who do not take anti-inflammatory medications.
