I'm dealing with some serious hair fall and hair loss, and I'm currently on isotretinoin for my acne. I'm worried because the hair fall is getting really bad, and I'm afraid I might go bald soon. I can't stop the acne treatment because it's severe, but is there anything I can do about the hair loss? Can isotretinoin be causing this? Any advice would be appreciated.

I've had clear skin for a long time, but recently, I had a bad allergic reaction while I was in another state, and now I'm getting these small white pus-filled bumps on my face. They appear and disappear, but leave these flesh-colored bumps that have been sticking around. It's been almost a year like this, and I've tried doxycycline and various acne medications with no success. I even used Proactiv years ago, and it worked then, but now it just irritates my skin. What do you think could be causing this and is there anything else I can try to get rid of these bumps?
