What kind of hair loss do I have? (Photo)

What kind of hair loss do I have? I already had thin hair and male pattern baldness, in the years I noticed my hairline & crown is getting a bit thinner. I took Accutane 30mg a day and noticed hair falling out very easily. So I quit Accutane after 39 days. So what kind of hair loss do I have? I think telogen effluvium but when I posted this on reddit, people said it was diffuse hair loss. The hair that falls out has a white bulb. I never had bald spots on top of my head until now. What can I do?
