This is one of the best medication for acne and that is the reason your dermatologist has suggested you the same. It is very occasional to see unusual side effects in isotretinoin. Your dermatologist may reduce the dose of tretiva or suggest some medication to improve the ongoing hair loss.
Next Steps
Acne can be treated with expertise under the guidance of a qualified dermatologist.
