Hello,
Thanks for the query.
The skin boils and pimples you are referring is probably Acne Vulgaris.This is due to increased androgen hormone sensitivity. The hair loss accompanying this is also because of that. Many topical and oral medications like isotretinoin are available which are to be used according to the severity of the condition. Lifestyle changes like reduced stress, decreased intake of sugar and milk containing foods, avoidance of cosmetic products and using lukewarm water for facewash are recommended. Since you are young appropriate medicines will prevent scarring . I recommend you to consult the nearest dermatologist for further specific medicines.
