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?

What can I do?
