I was recently on accutane (20-30mg x2 daily) for 8 mo. Now off for 6 mo. In that time I've been experiencing extreme hair loss and sever scalp pain. Touching my hair, changing its part, it all hurts. My dermatologist says I don't have alopecia. I have no signs of irritation, redness, etc. Is it possible my central nervous system has been damaged? If I can solve the pain maybe it will fix the hair loss. I'm currently pregnant. I want to know what can be done, whether it's during or after.

If you have hair loss and would like a treatment options, see a doctor for a proper examination. Your doctor can give you treatment options. Psoriasis does not cause hair loss.
