Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The medications for acne not necessarily cause hair fall, it is mostly an acute change in the system which causes that.
I suggest you revert back to the doctor who prescribed the medications and maybe they can tweak them a little bit.
Also consume multivitamins which have biotin in them
Hope that helps!
