Hi, Using medicine for weight loss, it is high proteine diet, still use curbs, fruits and veggies, since january. using appetite supressants, hair started falling in front, skin rash, came down by 40 kg. Most probably the cause is the appitite suppressants. as a first step i advise to stop the drug, and advise to have green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, along with your routine plan of treatment. Avoid anxiety, tension, hairfall in front is called male pattern bald ness, it may be genetic, and you can have relief of rash and hair fall by consulting a dermatologist . Thank you.
