Hair Loss on Accutane

Hair Loss on Accutane

Accutane was used for years to treat acne, an often physically and emotionally devastating skin condition. Hair loss is an unfortunate side effect of taking isotretinoin treatment, the generic name of Accutane. While the brand, Accutane, is no longer available, isotretinoin is licensed under many other brand names. According to Healthline, approximately ten percent of isotretinoin users experience hair loss and thinning, a significant number of consumers.

What Causes Acne?

The Mayo Clinic identifies four causes of acne: too much oil production, clogged hair follicles, bacteria, and androgen hormone activity. Acne can present itself as red bumps, whiteheads, and blackheads. Its appearance can be emotionally jarring to individuals who suffer from it, and it can produce lasting scars and physical pain. It can also make people feel isolated.

Acne doesn’t only appear in teenagers, either. People of all ages can get acne. And though pimples often appear on the face, they can pop up in many other places as well. Stress, carbohydrates, and some medications often contribute to acne. And, while lifestyle changes could make some difference, often there isn’t a specific action, other than those a doctor suggests, that will alleviate acne.

Side Effects of Isotretinoin

Many acne sufferers have experienced wonderful skin clearing while taking isotretinoin pills. Unfortunately, it comes at a cost. Vitamin B deficiency, dry skin, hair loss, and other side effects are also known to accompany this acne medicine. It is always important to discuss the side effects that you experience with your doctor.
