Has anyone experienced hair thinning/loss while on isotrentinion?
My daughter is hopefully on last month (7 th) of amnesteem. This past month her really thick red hair has thinned. I'm afraid she will be left with nothing soon.
Dermatologist says it will stop and regrow one month after her last pill. This is so faraway!!
He also said it is temporary. We are just scared!! When you used to have long thick hair and now I swear 1/2 is gone.
Suggestions appreciated.
Well no one can honestly say if her hair will return to normal or not! Some have been lucky to have their hair return to normal, many have had the shedding stop, but the thickness never came back, some have a problem continually with cycles of hair loss and growth. Accutane can deplete many vitamins such as, Vit D, Biotin, B12, Iron, Ferritin etc. Sometimes it can cause TE which can last any where from 3-12 months. It can also cause alterations in sugars, thyroid and other hormones which may cause hair loss.
Does she have hair loss from anywhere else? Is she taking any vitamins, eating well, keeping hydrated etc. What shampoo etc. is she using?
