Differin and Hair Loss

I have been using Differin topical solution on my forehead every night for nearly six years. I have recently noticed that I am losing hair that was transplanted three years prior. I did some research on the web, and there is some mention that other people (although few) seem to have experienced the same. The drug company and the prescribing dermatologist made no mention of hair loss being a potential side effect. In your professional opinion, is it possible that this topical derivative of vitamin A (related to the dreaded hair loss drug accutane) could be causing my transplanted hair to fall out after six years of use? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Differin is a topical medication used for the treatment of acne. Losing hair is not reported as a side effect of this medication, but many of the acne drugs do cause hair loss. See the doctor who prescribed the medications to evaluate your hair loss. Maybe you are losing your native hair. It would be unlikely (but possible) that a medication that you used for six years without any problem is now causing your hair loss.
