May be related: To isotretinoin , which has a host of side effects on the body including the skin and and its appendages (nails and hairs) , or may be due to something else., Kindly report that to your prescriber, and please don't exceed prescribed dosage or duration, and also avoid pregnancy while om isotretinoin and for 6 months after stopping it, wish you well
