Hi,
I can understand your concern for the pimples and hairfall in yourself. Acne or pimples are youth related problem and is not a disease per say.
A gel containing clindamycin phosphate 1.2% w/w and tretinoin gel can be very helpful to you for long term. The only precaution you should follow is to apply the cream in very thin layer and that too over affected area only.
Hair fall can be due to any long term illness or any emotional or stressful event and due to nutritional deficiency or hormonal influence.
If I were your dermatologist then would have prescribed you tablet containing Acetylcysteine, Calcium Pantothenate, Selenium, Zinc, Biotin, Copper as active ingredients. You can take these vitamins in the form of biotin, calicium pantothenate and other vitamin B complexes.
Take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist so that all the problems can be dealt best for future time.
Take care
