Dry hair and bad acne

[Nycgal92 3]

Hi Everyone,

I'm about 6 months out of surgery. I lost around 86 pounds from my heaviest weight. However, recently I've experience bad adult acne and really dry brittle hair. Does any one have any recommendations for these problems? Please let me know of your experiences and any products that helped. Thank you.

Do you happen to take high doses of Biotin? That can cause cystic acne. I couldn't take biotin for that reason. For dry hair, don't Shampoo every day, don't use super hot Water or hot styling tools. Air dry hair, and use a leave-in conditioner in addition to a regular conditioner. Good luck, and congratulations on your weight loss!!

Your describing exactly what I am going through. I'm almost 4 months post-op and having terrible acne and my hair is coming out.

I never thought I would have to worry about Hair loss because I have a lot if hair. But, seeing the amount if hair in my brush is alarming.

I dont have the solution yet, but I did go and buy Biotin and Shampoo and conditioner with biotin in it. I've been using it for about a week now. Hoping it works.

Best of luck to you!
