Suffering From Hair Fall And Acne. Taking Istroin And Levoflox. Cause And Cure?

I M 25 year old female. I am suffering from hair loss since last two years. My B12 level is 190 and Hemoglobin is 11.8. I am also suffering from acne for which M taking Levoflox 500 and Istroin 10 as prescribed by my docter. I applied mercury in my hair mixed with oil before 1 and half year as some one told me to do that. Can that be the reason for my hairfall? Please help

Hello.I don't think mercury would cause hair fall even after stopping for so long.Check for thyroid hormone levels,serum ferritin levels.There are good oral supplements for hair fall.Regarding acne,you haven't mentioned if you are responding well to the treatment or not.
