I underwent an acne treatment for six months. A doctor prescribed me isotretinoin for six months. It has helped in clearing my acne but ever since I stopped the treatment (June), my has has been thinning significantly. I heard that hair thinning is side effect of this drug but never thought it would be this bad. Could this hair thinning be reversed? There is also increased hair fall but the main problem is thinning. Hail volume has halved ever since I stopped taking isotretinoin. Please advise.

Myself is a homoeopath and I wonder why majority of people sstart taking medicine blindly without knowing about the after effects.This is absolutely wrong to treat one condition and at end giving risse to ome more aggressive problem.So in that cae Homoeopathy is alwayss safe .So I will advise you to start the 1st stage of homoeo medicine in which your hair will become thicker and healthier in 4-5 months . Homoeopathic treatment HAIR SERUM ( WOLFE DIETRI) Apply on hairs 2 hour before bath twice a week JABORANDI OIL ( WHEEZAL) Apply twice weekly esp. in the hair roots ,leave overnight and wash with a good shampoo
