Hair Growing in Different Directions After Accutane Use?

Hi,

I was wondering if it was normal for hair to grow out in different directions? I took a month course of Accutane 2 years and in conjunction with the hair loss, my hair feels a lot more brittle and different in texture. Specifically my scalp, I have this dime sized spot on my scalp that grows opposite to what the rest of my hair does. I know this sounds weird but it becomes even more noticeable when my hair isn’t shaved down.

Did Accutane do something to change how my hair grows?

Accutane (isotretinoin) does impact the quality of hair that grows, but it should not change direction. I would suspect that because of the changes in your hair character, the different direction of hair in one area was more easily noticed by you.
