Hair loss on Accutane

[Katiebird 0]

I have a question for all the Accu-peeps! =)

I know that hair loss is a side-effect from the drug....but....is it permanent?? I'm scared of going bald. I think I could actually deal with being bald for a short time, if it cleared my skin and I knew my hair was going to grow back, no joke. But it scares me that it could be permanent, and I've heard some horror stories.

Stop believing everything you hear. I'm going into my third month and have not lost one strand of hair. It's different with everyone... just listen to your dermatologist and do as he says... but hair loss is only temporary if any at all. You won't go bald, trust me.

Well, I wouldn't be worried normally, but I've already starting shedding wayyyy more hair than normal, and I'm only on like day 15 or 16. Thanks for the info though guys, it's much appreciated!

hairloss is only a problem is you use it at high dossage ( at least more than 40mg per day)

keep your dossages low and use it for a longer period of time and you will have a clean face without any side effect ( except for dry lips...who care anyway )
