Acne on arms
Dear Dr,
I have been having small boils/pimples on my arms and on back of the arms. And I also have been experiencing hair fall since it those started to appear. I have attached a photo of it. I follow a similar diet daily. I eat sprouts, paneer, chicken and 7 eggs white and 3 egg yolks daily. I workout regularly. What is the cause of those acne ? Are they harmful?
Thank you and regards.

High protein diet beyond the amount that can be utilised may cause acne. Whey protein and high protein diet can increase androgenic alopecia or male patterned baldness. Please consult a dermatologist for treatment and counselling.
