Hi, I've been taking finasteride 1.25 mg every other day, to slow down my hairloss. It's become manageable somewhat. However recently my acne has begun to flare up, and even scarred a little. My dermatologist has suggested that I be placed on accutane. Is there a problem using these two in conjunction? It would be very worrying to know that in order to save my skin, I must sacrifice my hair. If anyone has had a similar experience, please comment below.
Thank you

Hi, I'm actually on both and have had zero complications..I obviously asked my derm about it and she said there should be no drug interaction but it's in your benefit to ask your derm!
