Hello!
I've recently been prescribed RoAccutane for Body Acne, and am only 6 days in to an initial dose of 20mg daily (which will be increased to 40mg in a month.) I'm low dosing to reduce any side effects.
This morning I woke to find some rather odd hair growth on the lower half of my neck, underneath my usual shave area. This certainly wasn't there yesterday as I was inspecting the area for spots only last night.
This is worrying me rather a lot. I tend to read on this forum that you don't often see hair abnormalities with Accutane yourself, but this must be as a result of the medication as it's sudden and very abnormal for me.
My question is, now that these follicles seem to have been 'activated' by the Accutane, or as a result of it, will they continue to grow hair forever now, or only during the course of my treatment? If it's possible it'll be permanent I will consider stopping the drug as I'd hate to suddenly have abnormal hair growth all over.
Moreover, now that it seems that Accutane is affecting my hair, does this mean I may be more susceptible to hair LOSS on my head too?
Any help for this very worried guy would be wonderful! Thanks.
