I'm 22 and I've noticed that my hair is falling out a lot more than usual, especially when I comb it. I'm really worried about losing so much hair. Can you give me some advice on how to help it grow back?

I've been getting lots of tiny pimples around my nose and chin area. I think my skin has become addicted to Skinlite cream. A general physician recommended Dermadew Glow and Tab Celine 500 mg, but I'm not sure if I should be using these products since hes not a dermatologist. What do you think? Should I try them out, or should I be consulting a specialist first?

Yes you can use it no problem,if its becoming worse,visit dermatologistm for appropriate management
