Hi, I have been diagnosed with PCOS, vitamin D deficiency, and low hemoglobin. I completed the treatment course prescribed by my doctor. I also consulted a dermatologist for acne, hair fall, and severe dandruff. I am currently using Avene sunscreen as prescribed, but I still have acne marks on my face, along with ongoing hair fall and dandruff. Please suggest what I can do to improve my skin and hair condition.

PCOS causes acne, hair fall, dandruff. Continue meds, healthy diet, exercise. Use gentle cleanser, non comedogenic moisturizer. Continue sunscreen. Consult doctor for medicated shampoo if needed. Do Thyroid Profile, Ferritin if hair fall persists.
Dr. Yusuf Suggests...
Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test or Take a Ferritin Test Test

View allI have been having hair problems for the last 1 year, with excessive hair fall. My blood test shows low vitamin D and vitamin B12. I have been taking Nutrilite Cal Mag D and vitamin B12 supplements for the past month, but I have not seen any improvement. Due to WFH, I am living in Sangli, Maharashtra. I have also had some period related problems in the past 2 months. I think the hair loss may be due to hormonal imbalance. Please help me understand what I should do and which specialist I should consult to treat this issue/ Thank you.

Hi, I am a 24 year old female experiencing severe hair fall and thinning. I have already lost about 50 percent of the hair on my scalp. My doctor suggested blood tests, which came back normal, and has now prescribed Finasteride tablets. Is it safe for me to take Finasteride? I am planning to get married in the next 6 months, and I have heard it can have side effects. Please advise.

I have been struggling with persistent dandruff, causing itching and hair fall. Despite undergoing treatment for 7 months, there has been no improvement, and I have also started noticing grey hairs. I have my blood reports as well. During the treatment, my doctor prescribed several tablets along with a lotion and shampoo. Currently, I have stopped the tablets but continue using Saliclo lotion and Tarryshine shampoo. I am unsure if I can overcome this problem. I am attaching my latest two prescriptions for your reference. Please advise on what to do next.
