Hair & Acne: Hair, acne, and skin quality are the things a dermatologist specializes in. Please see one. Your family doctor may provide a referral. We all like to look our best but being neat and clean, treating others the way we would like to be treated, are more attractive qualities than hair. Peace and good health.

Very hard to do: One's primary care doctor and dermatologist can check for medical causes (may be treatable). If no disorders are found, one can continue with a dermatologist, especially one specializing in hair (some treatments: minoxidil, etc...). Medical causes may include: hormonal problems (low thyroid), seborrhea, alopecia areata, stressful illness. Other causes: telogen effluvium, etc...
