A member asked:
Can melatonin be useful topically? i saw that it regulates the immune system somehow.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can: There are small studies for the use of topical melatonin for generalized hair loss and male pattern baldness. Also, there is some asssociation with benefit for treating seborrheic dermatitis, which is an inflammatory skin condition. Topical forms seem to have limited systemic - as in the blood stream - effects. Hope this helps
