* Scalp hair loss on the treatment area, due to disease, injury, or medical therapy.
* Current skin disease (e.g., psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, skin cancer, eczema, sun damage, seborrheic dermatitis), infection, cuts, and/or abrasions on the scalp or condition (e.g., sunburn, tattoos) on the treatment area that, in the opinion of the Investigator or qualified sub-investigator, might put the participant at risk or interfere with the study conduct or evaluations.
* History of surgical correction of hair loss on the scalp (i.e., hair transplant).
* Use of any chemical to treat your hair (including but not limited to hair coloring, bleaching, chemical straightening or relaxers) during the study.
* Use of any anti-inflammatory (except 81mg baby Aspirin), immunosuppressant during the study.Use of any products or devices purported to promote scalp hair growth (e.g., finasteride or minoxidil) within the 6 months prior to the Baseline Visit.
