Hypothyroid, acne and digestive problems
I've hypothyroid and was detected with vitamin B12 and D3 deficiency. Had taken treatment on vit D3 and B12 (12 injections each). Now I'm only on thyronorm 100mcg.
I've been suffering from acne on face, back and also on scalp since 9 months and hairfall too. I'm also suffering from digestive problems like constipation and bloating for more than a year. I am confused whether this is related to only hormonal problems, or digestion problem or something else. Please advise whether I should consult gynaecologist or endocrinologist or doctor who treats digestive problems.

It is possible that sudden acne can be due to hormonal causes. A complete hormonal profile and USG is required to rule this out. Along with that, acne treatment should also be done. Please call me or send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice.
