🧡 PCOS/PMOS isn’t just about your period.
If you’ve ever stared in the mirror wondering why your skin won’t calm down, why hair is showing up where you don’t want it, or thinning where you do, you’re not imagining it, and you’re not alone.
Androgens are often the common thread behind acne, hirsutism, and hair thinning in PCOS (now PMOS). Same hormones, different areas of the body, different (and sometimes opposite) effects.
It can feel confusing, even isolating, when your body seems to be working against you in so many visible ways. But understanding why it’s happening is often the first step toward feeling more in control of it.
We broke down what the research actually says about PCOS/PMOS and skin/scalp symptoms, link in bio if you want to dig in.
