I am 3 months off of accutane. My hair was incredibly healthy on accutane, not dry, it was long and beautiful. But a few weeks ago I noticed a lot of hair loss in the shower. I hadn't changed my hair products, I was concerned but brushed it off. Hair loss continued so I cut my hair short. My scalp began to become tingly and the hair loss persisted.
