Increased Shedding Due To Topical And Internal Oil ?

[drakeznathan]

Hi,

I have been taking

Biotin 5mg
3 tablespoon of pumpkin seed oil day and night for past few days

And applying topical as well. I changed to twice a day internally 3 days ago and my hair has started shedding like crazy today. Meer had this much shed before. Is pumpkin seed oil making it worse ? Should I get off from this ?

In general, shedding is regarded as a positive phenomenon that allows the "bad" hair to fall and makes space for the "good one". It is mostly caused by minoxidil. No one is certain that even finasteride causes shed. It has not been studied.
As per pumpkin seed oil, difficult to say if it could cause shed. Are you sure you are not having a telogen effluvium caused by, say, stress?
