Hi,
I am a 27yr old female and am almost two months into my treatment with Accutane. I am getting a few stray hairs on my chin that I didn't notice before treatment. They are thick but not dark like the hair on my scalp. Is this related to taking Accutane?
I was wondering if any other females have noticed any abnormal facial hair growth while on Accutane? And if so, does abnormal hair growth continue after treatment? I just now learned that abnormal/undesired hair growth is a side effect.
Your posts are greatly appreciated.

i dont think it is a side effect of accutane... but probably hormones. have you switched your birth control pills lately? or going through stressful times? ive had stray hairs on my chin LONG before i started accutane. i wouldnt worry about it.
yes, it is....my doc said he'd never heard of it. but i had that as well as an increased of vellus hair on my face; my hair on my head started to grow fast as well as my eyelashes. the hair on my legs and pubic hair became really coarse. after about 3 months it started to subside. or maybe i quit noticing, idk.
