A member asked:
Can accutane reduce body hair at all when taking it for acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Accutane works on acne. There is little to suggest that you would get any significant long term results unless you got an unusual side effect. Accutane does not affect hormones to fix the acne, so it probably will do nothing to treat other hormone related problems.
