Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

Hair fall is due to acute illness, post infection or stress or due to genetic & hormonal changes. Acne is due to hormonal changes. You can continue both drugs. Along with this wash face for 5-6 times a day with oil remover soap, do regular exercises, spend some free time for yourself, drink plenty of fluid, eat fruits. These will help you. Hope I answered your question. Consult your doctor for further examination and management.
Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
