I suggest you meet a good dermatologist. Get a professional investigation done. Since your acne is linked to your periods, there could be a hormonal cause.
Complete your treatment fully. Keep following up with your doctor even after the acne is cured to prevent recurrence.
Avoid the use of commercial products for your face if they don't seem to suit you, especially oily creams.

Aryan, you may be suffering from a male pattern baldness. This is likely if other males in your family also have hair loss problems.
You should consult a dermatologist for a full assessment of your hair loss and take treatment under guidance. Till then, you can start applying Minoxidil on your scalp (you could use Mintop lotion, for instance; this is available at the chemist's).
Also, take some multivitamin supplements.
