I'm off accutane and still experiencing hair loss ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chances good: The after-effects on hair loss from Accutane can be prolonged....possibly more than 6 months.....it should slow and recover soon. Should discuss also with your provider, as a simple lab can rule out a thyroid hormone imbalance. Get well.
