Hi all
I'm currently five weeks into my treatment with isotretinoin. I have a history of mild but very persistent, unresponsive and inflammatory acne that leaves my skin with severe post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I'm on 80mg/ week (20mg Tue, Thurs, Sat + Sun).
Before I started the course I was losing hair excessively and this prompted me to have bloods and other tests done to find the cause. My doctor attributed it to Vitamin D and iron deficiency. Although I supplemented my hair continued to fall at an excessive rate.
Since starting my treatment my excess hair loss has stopped almost entirely. I am wondering what other people's experiences have been?
Well that's awkward. Is kinda normal to loose more hair than normal during Accutane due to the excessive dryness weakening the hair follicles (no oil = no nutrients), causing the hair to fall/break more easily. At least that is what happened to me and thankfully came back to normal after finishing.
Maybe you are a god ? lol.
