I was recently told I have telogen effluvium and even though my hair fall has calmed down, I'm using this serum with procapil, baicapil, and anagain thats really making my seborrheic dermatitis flare up badly. It's making my scalp super inflamed wherever I put it on. I'm really thinking about quitting the serum, but I'm scared if I stop it, I'll start shedding again. Do you think it's okay to stop using it, or could that just make things worse?

Do not stop it abruptly,this needs wheaning visit Dermaologist for the same and alternative treatment plan
