Brief Answer:
Remedy for acne and hair fall
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Post partum hair loss (Telogen Effluvium) is quite expected. Estrogen levels are high during pregnancy and help maintain a good volume of scalp hair. The hair that stays put during pregnancy is shed after delivery as the estrogen levels begin to fall. Post partum Telogen Effluvium is self limiting. It usually starts 2-3 months after delivery and may last for 3-6 months. I suggest you to take a balanced diet rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Iron deficiency is quite common during pregnancy and post partum period and that may be a factor responsible for your hair fall. Therefore I suggest you to take an iron and a calcium/ vitamin D supplement. Your acne could be due to hormonal imbalance. I suggest you to use topical antiacne remedies like 1% clindamycin and 5% benzoyl peroxide combination gel (clindoxyl gel), twice daily. It is quite safe during breast feeding.
Hope i have answered your query.
