I'm noticing a dark horizontal line on my nose and I'm not sure what's causing it. I've been using a Clean & Clear blackhead scrub, but it doesn't seem to be making much of a difference. Could this be an allergy or something else? I've seen other people with similar lines, and I've attached a photo for reference. Any insights would be really helpful!

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.
