Accutane is causing my hair to thin

Wait so it went away and now your hair is back? Fucking life fuel man accutane is scary as fucking hell. Absolutely TERRIFYING. I mean my skin by the way is absolutely beautiful and mogger as all hell, but my hair is so thin.
And I understand your concerns, you have the prettyboy pheno so going bald would hurt your chances by a lot. I hope your hair recovers soon jfl.
 
Yeah it's mostly back, still quite thin sides, but I'm seeing small improvements every week. Accutane is really not to be underestimated man, you should always be cautious with drugs like these, I feel like people on here fail to inform others about potential side effects and shit.
How long did it take to make that progress bro?

I hopped off accutane last October. Early January was when I noticed noticeable regrowth, it's still growing back actually, so there's that! It may differ from individual to individual but I'd say two-four months is realistic for regrowth. That being said though, I've heard from cases where apparently it didn't grow back at all which sucks ass honestly.
 
The only reason people say it is permanent is that they don’t give their hair enough time to come back after discontinuing accutane. The hair growth cycle is long and you’ll need to give it time.

It can be a lot worse. Try balding at 17 WITH acne. Balding you can never fix and if I was to get on accutane it would maybe fuck up my hair regrowing. I’m trapped.

Retin a + fin is your best bet, just hope you don't have any sides

Been on fin for over 2 years now (almost 20 years old), been on retin A for over a year. Still get some breakouts but skin is not too bad.

Didn't have any side effects from fin in the first year or so but erections aren't what they used to be. Getting cialis because I'll do whatever it takes to have everything I want (good sex, hair, good skin, etc)

Btw I recommend taking biotin, omega 3, vitamin D and K2 Mk7 if you aren't already.
 
Anyone got any more info on this topic?
Chill. I dont really know if ur thinning or its just in ur head. 7 8 hair seems nice.

If u do have accutane hairlos then in most cases ur supposed to recover.
I havent done enough research to fully understand why it causes hairloss. Cuz even on dut i noticed something was happening, dome folks speculate it can somehow fuck with your scalp strogen receptors... i dont recall.

I noticed this really quickly so Im waiting till I know more and how to combate it.


You look good dont worry. Lets just hope u dont have norwooding cuz thats one of the most terrible curses u can have

Dude I DO have natural acne and now I have no idea why my hair is so fucking thin. I don’t know if it’s norwooding or if it’s just accutane hair loss. Either way I can see my fucking scalp and it’s scaring me. I looked in the mirror from the top and I CAN SEE MY SCALP holy fuck it looks like MPB and I’m only 20. What the fuck man... what the fuck.

It is not male pattern baldness, because it is not balding in the pattern

there is an easy solution, you can literally do minox + microneedling if you want to stay on accutane a little longer, or you can just get off accutane

It’s not balding from my temples I think it’s like diffuse thinning. Thing is I never see a large amount of hairs falling out? Like the amount falling out looks really normal. Strange as fuck man...

Holy shit dude stop. You’re digging yourself into a mental hole for no reason. It’s clear that your hair loss is caused by the accutane, it probably won’t get much worse either.

The very fact that there is no temple recession or thinning on the crown is proof that you do not have male pattern baldness. Use simple fucking logic, you started accutane and you’re getting some thinning of the hair which is a known side effect of accutane.

Judging by your previous posts you seemed like a confident and relaxed guy, keep it that way

I’m losing it right now. You don’t understand, without hair I am a trucel. I’ll never even get a single girlfriend for the rest of my life if I don’t have my hair. It throws me from above average to below average. It’s my life. I can’t afford to lose it, and I’m scared I am.

It saved me from acne but it’s going to kill me with balding, I’m not sure if I can win.

Yeah accutane also signals cells to rapidly die and regrow, called apoptosis, another reason the hairloss never fucking stops

Dude why did I take 30mg for 5 months just fine and then couldn’t handle 80mg for like a month then 40mg then 20mg for a month

Ur not norwooding
 
It has gotten worse for me, doctor said It will stop and your hair will recover in just 3 months but after 2 years my hair still continuing to descend. Also No balding genes in mom or dad's family, dad still nw 0
It’s like me and my chemotherapy doctors don’t have an explanation and insisted it grows back ffs

@Native I don’t want to scare you tbh but in the words of my hair doctor
Human hair is generally so thick/dense that by the time you are noticeable visible patches of thinning you have already lost 40-50% of hair in the region at least.
I wouldn’t wait fix it ASAP

@Native this is true.

Here was my hair about a month into shedding, I began seeing patches. It was (and still is) fucking brutal and suicide inducing. God I was so close to roping during the beginning.
