I don't really know exactly because i cut my hair once per week.

If u see little hairs on your hairline,it means that your hair is growing normally. You are not loosing hair.

The problem is when the hair shedding is more than the time that you hair takes to regrow,causing "bald spots/patches". Is this the case ?

Ops crap,i forgot we were talking about facial hair,sorry

It will probably take longer to grow on Accutane,since you are being affected by the increased hair shedding side effect. Just let it grow,don't take or do anything special. It will grow normally after ending Accutane. You won't loose your facial hair.

the problem is ....it grows back but the hair is so thin .....it barely show ...it been a week now ...and that area is whiter than the rest of my face ...do you think shaving my face can help ?

It may help,but your hair (body wide) will be thinner during Accutane.

No oil = no nutrients for the hair = thinning,dryness and even increased shedding.

There are cases where your hair thins out in certain zones and it doesn't in others.

Is just the weird ass side effects of Accutane. Give it a month or two after accutane for that area of your facial hair to even out in thickness,meanwhile you can try shaving,but i'm pretty sure that it will not make a big difference while on the 'tane.

I hear u dude but i dont think this is a side effect ,,,,since it happened becuz i over washed my face last week becuz i was working in the sun ,,,and that cause my face to be very dry and it peeled causing some of my facial hair to peel off two ,,,and noz its returning but thinner ,,,,its so weird
