hello, I've been on accutane for a while and have been experimenting some thinning/balding where my receding hair line is. I was wondering if it would be possible to use a topical steroid to help induce hair growth before this issue gets more severe while I am on accutane.
I had alopecia areata for a few months, about 5-6 years ago. I went to the dermatologist and recieved corticosteriods and my hair grew back fine. This was when I was 17. I am now 23 and about to go on accutane for the first time. I heard that this drug can cause hair thinning. Will it make the alopecia come back again?
I've been on accutane for 5 months now and I'm beginning to notice how much hair has grown on my neck and sideburns and I am a female! I was not aware of this side effect and am very scared this will stay! Does anyone know if this will go away after treatment or am I stuck like this permanently? Please help
hair grew on my sideburns and Unfortunately I waxed the hairs not knowing I wasnt supposed to and am now left with both sides darkened. I just finished my treatment and am really really worried. At the moment I apply aquaphor to the areas. Besides doing that is there anything else I can do or should I wait and it would return back to normal? Im really worried I may have caused irreversible damage. My dermatologist recommended I use hydroquinone but I think itll make it worse. Please help!!
