TAKING ZINC FOR SKIN & HAIR 🤔 DERMATOLOGIST

[@PamperedWife]

My doctor told me to take zinc every day after I started having acne caused by my testosterone hormone replacement. It has worked wonderfully for the acne!

[@timeswithamber5236]

this gives me hope i got nexplanon and my face has gone sooo bad in less than a week

[@janmcmahon7358]

Interestingly enough I had my DNA tested with The DNA Company. I have an abnormal gene (SLC30A8) which influences how zinc is transported in the body. I have had hair, skin, blood sugar and immune issues for years. Traditional medicine only wants to treat the symptoms and rarely tries to determine the cause I have always eaten a very healthy diet but with a small dose of zinc my problems have improved. Seriously, when is the last time anyone went to their physician and their zinc levels were checked? We need to change our model from treatment of disease to prevention

[@rupert909]

So you were zinc deficient and you started taking a supplement? Well if you would have got a blood test, you would have been diagnosed with a zinc deficiency and prescribed supplements.

[@Skirkly]

@@rupert909 not unless the blood test specifically tested for zinc. And no that isn't what she said. She had her DNA tested and there was an abnormality.

[@rupert909]

@@Skirkly right... Obviously the test needs to include zinc... She said she started taking zinc and her symptoms improved. Then said that other people should get their serum zinc levels tested to avoid the problems she encountered. If you're genuinely claiming she wasn't suggesting she was low on zinc Idk what to tell you.

[@thepicklegambit]

I 100% agree.

Someone with Hidradenitis Suppurativa here. The best "treatment" for me has been avoiding gluten (I avoid most sources of dairy due to lactose intolerance as well.) Would be very interested to see a study done on this or at least a doctor's perspective as to why this may have helped.

For 6 weeks now I have completely avoided gluten and dairy. I feel better for it.

I wish there were some way to quantify the hormone levels with and without. I am not celiac whatsoever, but I have severe inflammation from wheat and dairy; its debilitating and uncomfortable to be in public. I get migraines, even.

Hair loss is sometimes caused by an autoimmune disorder. I suffer from chronic inflammation due to an autoimmune disorder. Recently, my hair starting falling out from the roots. At the same time, my body had a lot of inflammation which resulted in severe pain. I started taking zinc but not for my hair, for sleep. I noticed how my inflammation went away and my hair stopped falling out as well. When I stopped taking zinc, the symptoms returned. When I started back on the zinc, again the symptoms went away. Also, I've read that a zinc deficiency can increase production in pro-inflammatory cytokines.
