Will Accutane bring back my alopecia?

I am uncertain what brought about your episode of alopecia areata initially.  This autoimmune skin disease is different for each individual but because you have already had one episode you have an increase risk of it occurring again. Alopecia areata is a highly unpredictable and cyclical condition.  A small percentage of patients on Accutane experience short-term hair loss and it is rare that alopecia occurs with patient who take Accutane but it is a possibility that both could happen with you.  Make certain that your current dermatologist (if they are different) knows about your history of alopecia areata and they will probably recommend corticosteroids again if the alopecia areata returns.
