Hi Sudha,
Polycystic ovarian disease leads to hormonal balance which can present with skin concerns like acne, hair fall, dandruff, oily course thick skin, increased hair growth over face chest etc( hirsutism) apart from irregular menses and weight gain.
The mainstay of treatment is hormonal therapy( that you are already taking) as no treatment for acne or hair fall would be effective without treating underlying cause.
So apart from consulting a gynaecologist or endocrinologist for Pcod, an appointment with dermatologist is also advised to treat your acne and hair fall concern. Acne can be treated with isotretinoin or antibiotics along with topical creams and/ or chemical peels. Hair fall can be tackled to some extent with minoxidil solution. But continued treatment with hormonal pills and regular follow up of hormonal levels are required.
Hope that answers your query.

HI,
Thanks for choosing HCM,
Apart from the excessive hair loss ,there is a main issue you need to concentrate on.

It is the hormonal imbalance,which is making you face your hair loss and acne which further progresses to mood variations,or excessive hair on face and body and many serious complications
as far as the allopathic medicine is concerned

Ginette 35 tablets are used to treat androgen-dependent conditions like acne and hirsutism and also protect against pregnancy.
hyponid is an ayurvedic preparation used in treatment of pcos
metformin reduces insulin resistance and removes the root cause of pcos
so please continue with the medication and try to reduce weight if you are obese
please stick to the current medication so that your problems get solved in less time
regarding your hair loss
2% mintop solution may help you
please consult your doctor to follow the medication
hope I answered your queries
feel free to contact me for further queries
thank you

Hi there ~

There are surgical options for PCOS. Please consult a qualified gynecologist who might be able to help you with the right medication or refer you to the right surgery to get your PCOS under control. It is not an uncommon condition. I hope you see your doctor as soon as you can. Take care and have a lovely day !
