A member asked:
On accutane: do you think taking fish oil pills would help to restore/replace the natural oil i had come to my hair prior to taking accutane?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly yes: This will be an individual response and unfortunately there are so many different fish oil preparations, . I general, it should not hurt and is considered heart healthy. However retinoids do have a tendency to limit oil production.
