A member asked:
May i ask how isotretinoin causes excessive hair growth to the face and body? this happened to me following ingestion of one 20mg cap. vellus hairs.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Isotretinoin & hair: Isotretinoin is not known for causing hair growth. Some people that take Isotretinoin may experience hair shedding, a type of hair loss called telogen effluvium. That happens after a time of taking isotretinoin. One tablet of Isotretinoin does not provide enough concentration in the blood to cause symptoms. Please consult your dermatologist regarding new hair growth.
