My first stop would be the endocrinology department. The majority of the symptoms you listed feel into that domain (hair pattern loss/growth, acne issues). They may determine at that point to refer you to your OB/GYN. The dermatologist would be the last stop as the acne could be a result from out of whack hormone /gland secretion levels.
