hello
welcome to healthcare magic forum
thank you for your query
In pcos ,hair loss from scalp and growth in face is common .
you should take hormonal medicine for pcos .
as far as hair loss is concern ,there is no single medicine that will grow your hair back
minoxidil will maintain your hair and prevent hair loss
you can take biotin tablet also
hair transplantation is good option for you
i hope i answered your query
