Acne and acne scars
I have a problem of acne and acne scars from past few years..I have an oily skin and this is also genetic. Recently I consulted with a doctor for this issue..she gave me a medicine to take on daily basis ( isotroin 20) I have been taking this for almost 2 months now. But I am facing major hairfall with 10days of taking this medicine. I am really scared I might loss my hair. Please help me. Should I just stop taking this medicine or there is any other solution for this.

Not to worry...safe alternate available.. depends on the grade...Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
