No..You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please send photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

yes. dont worry.. the hair loss induced by isotretinoin is temporary shedding.. and that hair will regrow eventually... this is not permanent loss. hope this will be helpful. but of course a proper examination and assessment would be recommended to rule out other issues. There are various causes of hair fall. Read my health feed for a better detailed understanding. https://fit.practo.com/#!/content/28405
