Reader Stops Telogen Effluvium with Fish Oil
Dr, I wanted to share a success story with you that I recently had with telogen effluvium of the eyebrows.
After some stress, I got seborrheic dermatitis which triggered telogen effluvium. After about 5 months with no end in sight to the shedding, a skin care specialist told me about her success she had taking 6000mg fish oils (I cant remember what her skin condition exactly was). But long story short, I began taking them & I actually take about 7000mg. My seb derm. & tel. eff. both stopped. I’m very happy about that, & I read your blog & your new posts weekly so I thought I would share this & maybe it will benefit some of your readers.
BTW, fish oils are like $10 for 400 capsules of 1000mg capsules.
Thank you for your story and experience. I’m not suggesting fish oil supplements will work for everyone that is seeing eyebrow hair loss, but your advice may help others and the risks are very low in trying it.
My wife has been taking those capsules for her pregnancy and she isn’t sure what she’ll do with the leftovers. Guess I’ll be taking them!
do a search through this blog and you’ll find people who took excess amounts of fish oils and any substance for that matter and begin to lose their hair..
fish oil can increase hairless.there are too many complains,and I’ve experienced noticeable increase of shedding since 4 months ago,and thats when I started taking 1000mg fish oil capsules.ps I’m not a newbie in hairless matter and been taking propecia for over 10 years + 2 transplants.don’t take fish oil if you are loosing hair!
