You may be correct about the hair thinning and reduced density of scalp hair.
1. Yes, pretty normal as I've never skipped or missed a month but it may come more frequently than usual (less than 28 days).
2. No, I do not have acne and never did.
3. No I do not have extra facial hair than an average female.
