High testosterone...: High testosterone levels can cause acne problems and male-pattern baldness. A primary care doctor and an endocrinologist can evaluate and order tests to find out what is happening to various hormone levels.

Yes: Both of those conditions can contribute to hairloss and in a female improving one or the other (through androgen blockers or thyroid supplementation) can improve or reverse the hair loss in early stages.
