I've been talking with few people abt accutane and 2 of them said they had massive hairloss while taking it.
Did any of yall actually had any hairloss while on it? or did yall eyebrows got less dense (im asking since my eyelashes and eyebrows are pretty nice naturally)

It's not common.

I read study, i will find it in mints.

Its 3.6 % for doses <0.5/kg/day

Its 5.7 % for doses >0.5/kg/day

You can use fin + minox to combat it.

If yo notice it, you can always stop and it will reverse i self.

im 16. and isnt DHT testosterone? (it literally has testosterone in its name)
Yeah, you are 16, dont use fin.

You will prob not start losing hair on accutane.

It's low %. You should be okay.

DHT and test isn't the same.

You have acne or what?

It's not dryness.

It is Telogen Effluvium, which is reversble, when you stop it.

You should try low dosing to avoid side effects.

Trust me, you will not experience hair loss, if that by any chance happends.

You can stop it and it will reverse.
