I've been using Fair & Handsome cream and I'm 16, but I've noticed a lot of pimples and dark spots on my face. I'm really concerned and curious if the cream might be causing this. What should I do to clear my skin up?

I'm really worried about my hair loss over the past few months. I've been losing a lot, like 200-250 strands a day, and it's freaking me out. My scalp is painful when I touch it and feels warm too.
