Post Isotretinoin Hair Loss
I took 10mg of isotretinoin for 2 months. After stopping usage of the pill which was 6 months ago, I experienced hair thinning and hair loss which refuses to stop shedding.
I came to know that this is because Isotretinoin has induced telogen effluviam, which should have cured itself by now since its been so long since I've stopped taking Isotretinoin.
So does isotretinoin cause permanent chronic telogen effluviam? What can I do to stop my hair fall caused by it?
