Sudden hair shedding with PCOS - has anyone experienced this?

Wait 5 sec.

Hi everyone, I'm a 24-year-old woman with PCOS, and over the last 20 days I've had a sudden increase in hair shedding. I'm losing hair on my pillow, while combing, and during hair washes. I've always had very thick, dense hair, so the loss in volume has been really noticeable. My hair also feels much thinner and frizzier than before. I also have vitamin D deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiency, and I'm planning to get my iron levels checked. Recently, my scalp has also become itchy. I'm seeing a dermatologist soon, so I'm not looking for a diagnosis. I just wanted to ask if anyone with PCOS or vitamin deficiencies has experienced a similar sudden increase in shedding and how things went for you. I've attached photos for context. Thank you. ❤️   submitted by   /u/ProofWatch8140 [link]   [comments]
