Hair Thinning.
I have been diagnosed with PCOS since the beginning of my periods and my hair started reducing when I was 16 years old. Currently my hair is 20% of what I had in my teens. I consulted many doctors for PCOS and dermatologists for acne and hair thinning/loss but my hair never changed. It got worse. After using many shampoos, I found a perfect shampoo which reduced my hairfall very much that only 5 to 8 strands fall but I've gone bald in
the front. I've been using minoxidil prescribed by my dermatologist.
I try to lose weight but it's very hard and due to my profession I am supposed to sit in a place for more than 8 hours.
