Accutane Induced Hair Loss, or a Balding Maturing Hairline?

[J.Harrison]

Accutane hairloss is telogen effluvium and *NOT* male pattern baldness.

You have MBP by the looks of your frontal recession.

Yeah I know. But there are studies that accuttane accelerates male pattern baldness.

Always good to see a balding brother having success. Thanks for sharing your story.

There's a lot of things that accelerate male pattern baldness it seems. For me, a ****ty relationship, a Master's project, and 80 hour work weeks (two jobs; one bartending outside, one as a data analyst) this past summer put me from NW0 to NW2 in like 8 months. I would at least like to attribute some of it to mental and emotional stress, but who knows, maybe I just have super aggressive male pattern baldness (interesting it waited until 24, and then got super aggressive though).

8 months to NW2 is very aggressive. :S It took me to get there about 5 years... My current hair texture is not the best, my little success is not noticeable, I hate to see my temples. But it's just the 3rd mondth, so I hope it will get better.

Guys, I added msm and biotin to my regime and im nearly 4 months in! I'm regrowing in the frontal area! Very satisfied with the treatments, finally they are working! I'll wait another month, and will post pictures!

Accutane can cause Chron's. Yikes!

 

[dorombl]

Despite what some people on here are saying accutane does cause hair loss so if you're predisposed to male pattern baldness it will accelerate the process. I had to stop my accutane treatment after a month and a half because my hair started falling out like crazy. I stopped and within 2 weeks the shedding had stopped but my hair never really regained its full thickness I once had.
