Question

I've been dealing with pretty bad hair loss for a while now. A couple of years back, I went to a dermatologist who suggested using Dr. Reddys Mintop 5 topical solution together with Finax 1 mg tablets for about two months, which worked really well initially. My hair loss went down, and I even saw some regrowth. But then from June 2014 until January 2017, I continued using Mintop. After that, I switched to ayurvedic and homeopathic remedies for about 45 months. Unfortunately, that seemed to make everything worse, as my hair started falling out again in clumps. I'm really worried and not sure what steps to take now. Could you give me some advice?

Question

Is it okay to get a dermaroller treatment in the second week of May after taking isotroin 20 mg for just three days at the end of April (28th to 30th)? I've heard you shouldn't get treatments right after accutane, but isn't that advice mostly for those who complete a full course? Would those 60 mg in total affect skin healing?
