It's been almost 5 months since I've been diagnosed with thyroid and a year since pcos.. I've been noticing thin hairline on one side of the hair and hair growth on face( which I find excess and uncomfortable). Is there anyway I could improve the texture of my hair??

This condition is called Telogen Effluvium. It's a reversible condition in which hair falls out after a stressful experience. The stress pushes large numbers of hair follicles into a resting phase. Within a few months, those hairs can fall out. Types of stress can include any hormonal issues like thyroid or any major illness like Covid. Once u start appropriate medications it takes approximately 3-5 months to start seeing any visible difference. U will know if the medication is working if ur hair loss reduces. Growth of hair will occur only post the cessation of hair loss. Normal hair fall upto 100 a day is normal. If it is more than 100 then it is a cause of concern that needs to b addressed. It's a reversible condition but needs to b treated to prevent further hair loss. Consult a Dermatologist.

Both hypothyroidism and pcos can cause thinning of scalp hair and excess facial hair.First undergo treatment for those, otherwise any treatment will not or have little effect on ur hair problem. Do online consultation for details.
