Hair loss and acne have many causes.
For example:
Excessive cortisol can cause hair loss
Excessive DHEA can cause hair loss and acne. Most women cannot tolerate more than about 5-10 mg of DHEA due to hair loss.
Stress can cause hair loss
Stress can cause a loss of zinc, which in turn can cause hair loss
Excessive
DHT can cause hair loss
Low or high thyroid hormone can cause hair loss
