Asked By:MB1982

I am in my fourth week of isotretinoin treatment and think that the amount of facial hair I have has increased especially leading from my sideburns to my cheeks. The hair is blonde and not particularly noticable but I sm very worried that it could get worse or perist once I finish my treatment.
