I'm dealing with some serious hair fall and hair loss, and I'm currently on isotretinoin for my acne. I'm worried because the hair fall is getting really bad, and I'm afraid I might go bald soon. I can't stop the acne treatment because it's severe, but is there anything I can do about the hair loss? Can isotretinoin be causing this? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm a bit concerned about my hairfall since I've had my first PRP session about ten days ago and noticed it's actually increased. My doctor said to have the next session in about 12 weeks. Should I be worried about the hairfall getting worse, or is this normal? Would love some advice on whether this is okay.
