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.

there is no such relation between isotretinoin and hairfall infact it indirectly helps in nourishing your hair,there are many causes for hairfall, visit your dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate tretament, consume balanced diet with extra protien for healthy hair and skin.

I've been dealing with some stubborn deep spots on my face left over from acne. I've heard about Episoft AC cream and was wondering if it'd be effective in getting rid of these marks? Or if there are any other solutions you could suggest, that'd be awesome. I'm really looking for something that can help clear my skin up a bit. What do you think?
