    Hey Brad,

    Taking Accutane will not cause loss years later. If you experience loss from Accutane it will be within a few months that you notice hair loss. Any loss you are experiencing now is most likely genetically induced MPB. If you haven't already you should speak to your doctor about Propecia to slow or stop your loss.

      Yeah, you probably just started to thin at 18. If it were the accutane you would have noticed shedding in a few months.

        Hey i am no expert on this, but I know for a fact that I read somewhere that accutane can be a cause hairloss even years after taking it. So i think it may possible. Take what I am saying with a grain of salt becuase I have never taken accutane and I really dont know much about it, but when I saw your post I immediatly remembered reading about that before.

          Hi,

          According to me, it is like you should consult your doctor for Propecia as, it is a very good medicine for hair loss and it is very light as I have heard that it should be taken for at least 8 months.

          You can consult your doctor for the doses.

          Thanks
