HI there;

I recently just realized that my hair seems to be fairly thin, or thinning. I took that acne drug ACCUTANE which can cause hair loss, and I think I may be a victim of it. I did notice that WHILE I was on it, my hair became thinner, so that I could see a lot more of my scalp when it was short.

I think I have since forgotten, and now just realized that it is the same as it was (as I don't oftem focus on my hair - I focus on my skin problems!). Or, it seems to be thinning a bit, and I continue to lose some hair?

Anyway, it is quite depressing, as I am 19, and now think I have more problems caused by this drug then I thought! Is there any good tips for keeping the hair I have, and possibly regaining some?

I think most of my problems are directly related to the fact that ACCUTANE makes the skin/scalp dry by shrinking oil glands, which are connected to hair follicles. This makes it a bad environment for skin and hair.

I have done liver cleanses, with success (but without much improvement in my skin/hair). I will continue with them though, and hope for the best....

Any help is much appreciated! Many Thanks!
