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 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.

I have been suffering from hair loss and baldness for more than five years. I have visited several dermatologists and completed treatment courses, but the results were not as expected. Many have advised me to undergo a hair transplant, which I do not want because the results vary from person to person and there is no guarantee even after spending a significant amount. I have also tried many hair oils for hair reduction and regrowth, but they did not work. I am looking for some treatment that can help me. I am awaiting your reply.

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.
