hey guys haven't posted here in awhile but i thought i would stop by to see how everyone is doing. been almost two years since i went on the stuff and started shedding and i'm approaching q-ball statu...

Hey guy's. Just thought i would let you know that i'm not going to bother with this forum anymore. I get nothing from it and even though i try to warn people of the affects this drug can have, in the ...

Yeah it makes me wonder how retarded all these dermatologists that dish out one of the most dangerous prescription drugs around actually are.... Such morons shouldn't have the ability to play with peo...

fyi i also just got a scalp biopsy recently from my derm to see if it would show anything. im kinda pissed i did it now cause the fuckin asshole should have been able to take one look at my scalp and ...

wow depressing stuff on here reminds me of myself with my posts. anyway, the only light of hope of i can offer anyone is that there a sulfer based drug which has been shown to help certain alopecia ar...

Hey daniel and ithappen, what I meant was I am post accutane for 1 and a half month and hair still shedding without any sight of stopping.   Daniel, I was on 20 mg for 137 days so that's about 4 ...

Dude, you didn't give the steroids long enough and people with diffuse AA nearly always have scalp burning and/or itching. Much similar to us. The hairloss is more complex but it can be treated just l...

Dude corticosteroids do not make any form of hairloss worse unless you take them systemically and suffer a form of TE. They can even help in Male pattern baldness by reducing the inflammation which is...

The kenalog shots were working for me because the bald area above my ears have some what of regrowth now. These areas were skin bald for months but now have fine baby hairs so Im going to wait and see...

Dude corticosteroids do not make any form of hairloss worse unless you take them systemically and suffer a form of TE. They can even help in Male pattern baldness by reducing the inflammation which is...

Kara welcome! Although I am saddened to hear that you are still having hair loss, I am glad to have another female on the boards to speak with. Like you, I have tried about everything under the sun ...

well unfortunately my hair loss still persists, but I've decided that basically that I'm done with it. In the near future I will either shave my head or just get a hairpiece. The problem is that altho...

I will also say that despite this the fluocinonide did seem to make my hair feel softer and somewhat back to normal during the past few days I've been on it, but the increase in shedding in the shower...

so i got my derm to prescribe me fluocinonide topical steroid for the hair loss and so far it's been the worst thing ever. I wouldn't say it was making much of a difference just in general during the ...

Well i figured out my hair loss situation with accutane and i've got the shedding pretty much under control. Without explaining my whole theory as to why accutane causes hair loss the bottome line is ...

Blazed my friend, your derm diagnosed you with diffuse AA and gave you topical and intradermal kenalog shots. I think that it what led to your recovery not the vitamins .   When was the last kena...

Blazed do you remember what i said in PM mate? i told you you would be fine ina few months due to the kenalog shots, it just takes that long to suppress the immune system enough!!   Not so it de...

also just for the record acne or more so late teenage acne that is persistent into adulthood is caused by a glandular disfunction, thyroid adrenal etc etc. so going back on accutane isnt the right mov...

Lamar you seem very lost and all on here still consulting with derms and such for your accutane situation and this dr. chu guy etc etc. I'm not going to sugar coat it for you, and have talked to a few...

Pete mate, You will eventually be ok. The hair isn't gone for good as we know you have diffuse AA. You have potential for full recovery!! My plan will work for certain in your case, within 4-8 weeks o...

Your hair seems like its missing oil, do you wash often? also stay away from those shampoos, i only use johnson and johnson baby shampoo as it has almost no chemicals(recommended by a derm). also what...

It will be over soon guys, this crap is reversible. Im about 10 or 11 months and i just noticed the regrowth a couple of weeks ago, and my acne started coming back so Its going back to normal. Im stil...

"I'm pretty certain this is how a typical TE from accutane will work. It also fits in with what Andys derm said, e.g. 6-8 months for shedding to stop in MOST cases"   I've been shedding for aroun...

i eat carrots when my mom makes them for dinner, but otherwise i don't eat any vit A. i am really afraid of vitamin A at this point, ha.   if there is anything that is good about this thread, it'...

i tried the apple cider vinegar detox for about a week but i had to stop but it tasted really bad and was I get really bad heartburn and it was making it worse. i have heard really good things about i...
