Hi AWatson86,
Can you tell me what leads you to the conclusion that it was the accutane, for sure, that is causing the baldness?

There is an autoimmune disease called Alopecia that you might want to research. Two forms: Areata and Universalis. Areata normally affects hair on the head and often times will regrow. Univeraslis affects all body hair and usually does not regrow. You may research this, I know nothing about accutane, so I can't comment about the use and your symptoms.

I would not assume accutane caused your balding....did you come to that conclusion on your own? Ive been on the drug twice and had no hair loss from it. I think it is wrong to discourage and scare people from using accutane when you have no basis for what you are saying. Without accutane, my face would have been destroyed from the cystic acne i suffered with...i only wish i would have went on it sooner, but i waited bc i was afraid of side effects. when i finally decided to go on the drug, it was one of my best decisions i've ever made.

Thank you for this reply. You are absolutely correct and it is wrong to scare people off with absolutely no basis for this claim. My daughter is going to try it this month for the first time and I am so scared for her. This almost scared me off.

Actually, my cousin took accutane when he was younger and he started balding around the time he took accutane. Just letting you know you aren't the only one :)
There is no such side effect. Check your family history in "Balding" You cant even file a lawsuit, did you not read the disclamer? Did you not sign something? As for your hair loss, honest Rogain still works for women. That and Advacodo Spread. Best of luck
