A member asked:

Im using nizeral. good at first now shedding a lot. some say shedding good cause it means growth while others say it is bad. is the shedding good?

Do you mean shampoo?: No shampoo will give you more scalp hair. If you wish to diagnose and treat a hair issue, see a dermatologist. Ignore everything "some" and "others" say. If any of them care about you the only advise will be to see a skin specialist.
