Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of acne on face and back along with severe hair loss. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query heredity , hormonal changes , patchy hair loss , scalp infections, and certain medications. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to give gentle massage of vitamin E oil daily and wash it with mild soap. Apply clindamycin gel on face. Avoid touching or pricking acne. Consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe proper antibiotic course along with this may recommend Vitamin A, D and E combinations. You should wash face daily and exfoliate skin once in a week.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
