I finished a 5 months course of accutane and was happy with the results and happy to finish. I was on 10 mg a day due to severe headaches with any higher dose. My skin is fine 6 months later, but know I'm noticing weird changes to my hair, hair thinning/loss and severe dryness. I also noticed that my nails have thinned too. I'm concerned because these changes happened after the treatment. I thought I was done and should be recovery
from it, but instead the side effects are now manifesting. I'm really worried about hair loss and dryness and the thinning nails. what can I do. Please help if you know of anything or heard of anything.
