Look at the men on your mother's side of the family. If any of them are bald, you are likely to be susceptible to male pattern baldness as well. There is no better indicator.

If the above information leads you to believe you will one day lose all of your hair, you are a very smart man.

There are products available that can retard the hair loss process, but in the long run, the only real solution is to actually pay for hair transplantation.

Good luck.

Hi there -

I'm female 39 and on low dose Accutane (20mg day). I'm in month 3. I asked my Derm. about hairloss, and she said 1) it's a rare side effect 2) if it happens the dose may be too high - over 1mg per kg of weight and 3) she said males are more susceptible. She said if I notice hair loss (which I haven't) to let her know and we can reduce the dosage and it should be fine. I use really good shampoo and conditioner (no need for antidandruff stuff) and wash every other day or when needed. Deep condition with a nice conditioner (go to beauty store) a few times a week. Accutane dries your hair a little, so you want to be gentle to it just like the rest of skin and bod.

Good luck.

The Accutane dose I have taken nearly 30-40 mg a day, I get better results in a few days. But After 2-3 months the results goes in reverse and My hair start loosing. I stop to take the Accutane dose to get out from the side effects of the Accutane.
