Guys, I'm a 24 year old asian. My dad only started loshis hair during mid 40's hair. Recently I took isotretinoin for my cystic undying acne. But on my second month, I noticed a good amount of hair started to shed during showers. 20 least amount of hair. Can you guys please tell me if my hair is thinning or if its Male Pattern Baldness. Should I stop iso tretinoin? My derm said that it's natural to lose hair but they'll come back. But a lot of people who went bald said that their derm said the same thing.

Not sure if youre still around but its a bit hard to tell whether its thinning or not without a before photo. In my experience, I experienced hair loss less than a month after taking isotretinoin. Derm took me off of it immediately and it seemed to have stopped but two months after my last pill I experienced heavy shedding. Lost probably 30-40% of my hair and still counting. Curious to know how you ended up
