I was dignosed with PCOS last October. I am on Glucophage 500mg/day and Spiro 200 mg/day. The last 3 months my hair has been falling out in clumps. The top & crown is so thin it looks bald. I also had alot of scalp pain and redness. My doctor prescribed fluocinolone .01% to apply to my scalp and the pain and redness have gone down, but hasn't helped the hairloss. She also had me drop the spironolact to half dosage. (100mg) I have read spiro can help hairloss, so am worried she is on the wrong path. I am scared this will be perminant and am hoping for some advice from others? I am 28 and like having hair! As it is, leaving the house gets harder and harder for me by the day. Any info greatly appriciated!
