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.
