Hurts While Running Finger Through Hair. Had Breast Cancer. Did Chemotherapy. Have PCOS. Related?
Hi. It's been few days day that when I run my finger through my hair especially front, it kind of hurt ( hair) like as if it has been pulled . I had breast cancer in 2011 and chemotherapy which due to that lost my hair and now their are grown back, up to my ear.
Also recently my hair fall a lot, it makes me worried. I have been told after chemotherapy even if hairs grow back still there is a chance that they fall out again, is it true?
I have PCOS , was taking finestride for two years and stopped it due the cancer treatment, I remembered that endocrinologist told me that fine hair or even less front hair is a kind of sign for PCOS too.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Chemotherapy can effect hair and hence can cause painful hair,
However it happens during the administration of chemo.
PCOS has no such relation.
Let me know you have any other doubts.
Please meet a dermatologist for final diagnosis.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
