2020-11-12 08:04:37
What kind of hair issues do PCOS patients can expect in their mid 20s . I'm having excessive hair fall I used 10 % minoxidil and finasteride tab for a period of three months. After discontinuing the treatment after 8 months the problem of excessive hair fall from the roots started again. I have frontal oily scalp and occipital area dry! And on scratching white dry residue like comes out! I'm currently taking biotin and protein a lot but no use! Recent diagnose case of PCOD Just wanna know will these changes revert back to normal once the PCOD prob subsided? What more I can do
