Understanding PCOS and Its Effects on Skin and Hair
PCOS is a hormonal imbalance in women that disrupts the levels of androgens, insulin, and other essential hormones. While it affects the ovaries, its impact is often seen on the skin and hair due to excess androgen production.
Common PCOS-Related Skin and Hair Concerns:
Acne: Persistent, often cystic acne, particularly on the face, chest, and back.
Hirsutism: Excessive hair growth on the face, chest, or back.
Acanthosis Nigricans: Dark, velvety patches of skin, typically in body folds.
Hair Thinning (Androgenic Alopecia): Diffuse hair thinning or balding, especially on the crown.
Pigmentation: Hormonal fluctuations can cause uneven skin tone or melasma.
