Hi. Accutane shrinks the sebacous glands and sometimes the hairs which grow from them are affected. Temporary hair loss (alopecia) or an increase of hair growth (hirsutsim) may occur. Such side effects usually reverse 5 weeks after stopping the medicine.
Accutane has many potential side effects but this must be balanced against the fact that it can result in a long term remission from severe acne, where other treatments have resulted in failure or relapse.
Why did you stop Accutane after one month?
Eloise.

it should get better after you stop. also certain foods are known to help, search stuff about biotin and hair loss. may help. good luck.
