Can too much Zinc cause hair loss? Hello everyone, For a few months I have been taking zinc in high dosages due to a chronic skin condition I have, and it has been very helpful in helping my wounds heals. I have done a ton of research on my condition and most people with this condition are very zinc deficient, therefore my dosages are VERY high (50mg) everyday, and (100mg) when I flair, my doctor knows about it and has approved it but I have noticed I have been having tons of hair loss. I had never connected the dots until now, but could this be the culprit? Should I stop taking it for a while? I am just scared my condition will worsen after I stop. Thanks in advance.
