Brief Answer:
Regarding hair loss and dandruff

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you.
I am Dr kakkar (Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have noted your concern.
Dandruff is a common cause of increased hair shedding. In addition PCOD itself cause hair thinning and hair loss from the frontal and mid scalp - androgenetic alopecia. This thinning is due to an excess of male hormones like testosterone.
For dandruff I suggest you to use a ketoconazole based shampoo e.g Nizoral shampoo, every alternate days. For hair thinning you may take an antiandrogen e.g Finasteride 2.5mg - 5mg. I also suggest you to take specific treatment for PCOD like hormonal pills as they would help to regularize hormonal imbalance. These are all prescription medications and I advice you to kindly talk to your local practitioner for a prescription of the same.

Regards
