A member asked:
I am 31 years old and i have suddenly started breaking out and my hair is thinning but only at the ends could this be my birthcontrol ?

Acne and hair: These may be related to birth control. Hair loss is usually related to nutritional deficiencies or hormone imbalances. Birth control causes many nutritional deficiencies. I suggest you make sure you are taking a good multi vitamin and mineral supplement and follow with your doctor to check you're thyroid and hormone levels. There is also micronutrient testing available.
