We generally recommend against taking alcohol with accutane. It will not show on the blood test and don’t bing drink (that’s having more than 4 drinks for women and 5 drinks for men) as it’s generally bad for your health and liver. Elevated liver enzymes do show up if you drink excessive alcohol for a long period of time.

Testosterone Pellets
Oct 18, 2021
Oct 18, 2021
If you’re genetic predisposition to hair loss or sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), testosterone replacement therapy may accelerate the hair loss process. You can take propecia or finasteride 1mg to see if it helps you.

Minoxidil and Ketoconazole Topical
Oct 18, 2021
Oct 18, 2021
The topical ketoconazole formulations are indicated for the treatment of tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea pedis, tinea versicolor, mucocutaneous candidiasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and dandruff. If your hair loss is due to fungal infection rather than androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness, it may help. There is some study that shows the ketoconazole topical may block dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which is a hormone that’s responsible for male pattern baldness.
