community I feel like I’m either losing body hair or my body hair is thinning very rapidly. Is this a side effect of male pattern baldness or is it because of the finasteride or what?

8 years ago

community Is this a good test? I'm trying to see if other factors might be contributing to my hair loss. I definitely have male pattern baldness but at the same time my thinning really started to get very bad after I took Accutane which I believe is linked to a decline in vitamin B. I was on it two years ago.
