8 weeks after using differin (adapalene) gel my hair is thinning in one line on my head! is this hair loss permenant? what can i do to regrow the hair?

Not related: Differin (adapalene) does not cause hair loss. This is a very unusual situation. Please see your dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Linear hair loss is most often related to trauma of some sort. If the trauma did not damage the hair follicles, the hair should regrow.
