Helpful if you struggle with a lot of dead skin cell buildup on your scalp.
Now, generally when people have a scaly scalp, it's usually due to yeast overgrowth and having a little bit of dandruff.
And so really what I would rather someone do is use like an anti-dandruff shampoo.
But if you're doing that regularly and you still feel like product is building up or often for people who have really thick hair, they just feel like they can't get a good rinse of their scalp, which is what your shampoo is doing.
I do not think of shampoo as a hair wash.
It is a scalp wash.
you could use something like an exfoliant to sort of like help break that down.
And if I have patients who have these like thicker plaques or yellowish gunk, for lack of a better word, stuck on their scalp, we can use exfoliants to help sort of break up that debris.
Biotin supplements.
Harmful.
harmful?
For hair loss, harmful.
So biotin has never been shown to be helpful for hair loss if you are not biotin deficient, which is incredibly rare in the Western world.
And oral biotin can do a lot of things.
It can break you out, so it can cause acne.
It can also mess with your lab values.
So although it doesn't change the function of your thyroid, it can make your thyroid tests read inaccurately.
It can make your cardiac markers read inaccurately.
So if you
think you're having a heart attack and you go to the ER and you're taking biotin, it can mess with what we call your troponin levels and it can make it look like you're not having a heart attack when you are.
