Common Questions and Answers about Isotretinoin hair loss

accutane

Avatar f tn I was also on acne treatment when I was younger. Roaccutane which contains Isotretinoin she is also on Isotretinoin, now here is a possible connection. Isotretinoin is also used to treat some cancers. There was a male on this forum who said he developed sticky skin after cancer treatment. Isotretinoin is a retinoid, related to Vitamin A. Overdose of vit A has its own side effects. I am still in extensive research mode, so maybe investigate all this and see if you can relate to anything.

Avatar n tn use that minoxidil if you are satisfied with that , mean while start using finasteride 1mg tablets this blocks DHT in your hair , which causes hair loss mostly...use multivitamins tablets should include biotin and zinc also...
Avatar n tn Hi, Folliculitis decalvans is characterised by redness and swelling and pustules around the hair follicle that leads to destruction of the follicle and consequent permanent hair loss. There is no permanent cure for this condition but it can be controlled by some medications. Oral antibiotics and oral corticosteroid may be helpful. In some cases, oral isotretinoin has also been tried with some success. Hair removal lasers have recently been shown to be effective.
Avatar m tn Again I consult with second, he prescribed me mentioned above, But I read from Internet that Isotretinoin has many side effects including hair fall, so I neglect that dosage of Isotretinoin by afraid , only azithromycin took for 6 days. Pimples are reduced to some extent but they are leaving scars on face. Is HH fudic cream will work for both pimples and scars ? Dosage of Minoz 50 (minocycline) will work for me if I takes this 20 days, is it good for health to take it in 6 months for 20 days ?
Avatar n tn When I was younger I also had acne treatment, Roaccutane which contains Isotretinoin, now there could be some comparison link. Isotretinoin is also used to treat cancer. There is also a person complaining about sticky skin after receiving cancer treatment. Isotretinoin is a retinoid related to vitamin A. I am investigationg all roots, to try find something in common with all these people experiencing sticky skin.
Avatar m tn I asked my dermatologist and she told me that the stickiness will go away on 2 or 3 days after i am done taking isotretinoin. Has anyone else experience this? Did it go away? Can someone please help!

Avatar f tn I am a 25 year old female. I am on isotretinoin for acne. But recently my general physician prescribed vitamin B-complex supplements for other health problems. Is it safe to take vitamin B-Complex capsules with isotretinoin? I am not any other medication.
Avatar n tn The ideal treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) should provide a high likelihood of cure with a low recurrence rate, as well as minimal inconvenience and loss of work time. Medical management is recommended in early stages, whereas surgery should be performed as early as possible after the formation of abscesses, fistulas, scars, and sinus tracts (see Surgical Care).
Avatar m tn joint pain, flushing, redness, rosacea, depression, chronic fatigue, Seb derm, hair loss.. even teeth breaking). I don't mean to scare you but this appears to happen too often (see acne.org). Isotretinoin was first developed as a chemotherapy agent, and to this day they don't exactly know how it really affects the body long term, hence why many are rightfully cautious about this medication.
Avatar f tn Has anyone taking isotretinoin?.i know there is a risk ov depression,I'm on my 6th day today ov taking them and don't feel too great.i feel quite low but really agitated,can't switch off and can't keep still.do u think its because ov these meds or just a coincidence?
Avatar m tn I have these really tiny bumps in my armpits. There's a big cluster of them in each armpit. I've had them for numerous years. They don't burn or itch and they're painless.They're kind of hard. The bumps take up almost every inch of my armpit and there's still hair growing in my armpits.
Avatar m tn I have been using Isotretinoin since July 2021, and the cumulative dosage is about 100mg/kg. After I stopped using Isotretinoin, I found that my eyes were very dry, and it has been maintained for about a month and a half. I know that Isotretinoin can inhibit the secretion of body oil. I want to know whether the drug's inhibition of sebaceous glands is permanent? Will the secretion of oil recover slowly over time? Permanent dry eye is a disaster for me.
Avatar n tn My 16 1/2 year old son has been on Accutane (60mg per day) for 2 months. His blood tests show liver function is great and triglycerides have stayed low. I am worried, however, about his complaints with joint pain. He recently had x rays and an MRI done on his right knee (which was an issue b4 the accutane) and then got relief for that knee when it was drained of excess fluid. He complains that he feels like an old man, something is always hurting.
309783 tn?1271958229 m not aware of this use of isotretinoin. I do know that the manufacturer does not recommend long-term, low-dose isotretinoin, and there is little or no scientific literature bearing on the subject of long-term low-dose use of this drug. You might consider a short course of isotretinoin, antibiotic treatment, or laser therapy. Best. Dr.
634590 tn?1293774093 i want to discuss with you all my problem. As you know i took 20mg isotretinoin for 15 days and pain started in my right hip joint. Went to Arthopedic and he said it is infection. im now on antibiotics (one week on IV augmenten + oxidil and then on ciprofloxacin 500 twice) for last 5 weeks. Today i suddenly feel same kind of pain in my left groin (front of hip joint) . im wondering if there was infection in right hip joint how can that infection travel to my left joint even im on antibiotics.
Avatar m tn thanks james. i also took isotretinoin for treatment of body acne. since isotretinoin is also a drug used for some cancer/chemo treatment, will that delay the development of hiv antibody?
Avatar n tn I have developed some unknown lesions on my neck. The dermatologist diagnosed these lesions as Pseudo folliculits and advised electrocautery. There are too many lesions on the neck as shown in photo 1. Should i go for electrocautery. 2. can u identify what the lesions are exactly? thanks This discussion is related to White bulb in hair follicle.
Avatar n tn maintenance doses of oral isotretinoin in the range of 10-40 mg every other day or 0.05% isotretinoin gel is rarely indicated as a suppressive treatment for widespread disfiguring sebaceous hyperplasia. Oral isotretinoin should be prescribed by a physician who is experienced in oral retinoid therapy and only for patients without contraindications.
309783 tn?1271958229 When acne and rosacea are both present and oral Isotretinoin is used, do telangiectasias tend to resolve, or do oral retinoids worsen this problem (as reported with topical retinoids) ? Eloise.
4451049 tn?1387153437 I was on Isotretinoin for a while, it seemed to be doing it's job. Then I start noticing white heads on my forehead. I never had many whiteheads before and my forehead has always been clear. Well, I obviously have to get them out or they will drive me absolutely nuts! Some of these things are pretty long, and they just show up on my forehead. They just keep popping up pretty much in the same areas, so it never gets to full heal.. I don't have bangs there to cause any irritation, so IDK.
Avatar m tn You do not need to be concerned. It has been shown conclusively that isotretinoin, the active ingredient in Decutan, does not cause birth defects in sexual partners of men taking this drug, despite the fact that minute amounts have been found in semen. Best. Dr.
