Losing weight causing acne and reducing hair growth?

Hi there,

I'm an 18 year old female and I'm 5'3. I have went from 135 pounds to 115 over the last two years due to diet change and exercise increase. However, I've noticed extreme changes in my skin (increase in acne breakouts) and my hair has stopped growing and is very brittle. My blood pressure has also dropped quite a bit as well. Are these all related? It's hard for me to simply regain the weight because I am very happy with how my body looks now. Please help!

Although you have lost weight, you may not be healthy. Make sure you are eating an adequate amount of protein (think bananas, beans, and lean cut meats). This could be why your hair is brittle, hair needs protein and healthy fats (unsaturated, and non-trans from fish, beans, etc.). If your blood pressure is unhealthily low then your body fat content sounds a little too low. however, if your blood pressure just dropped to healthy level, that is typical for when you lose weight. your increase in breakouts is most likely unrelated to your weight loss. since your 18 years old, i would talk to my doctor about either going on birth control or starting an acne regmine.

good luck!
