    Accutane and bald spots (Please Help)

    I am looking for some advice from people who have used Accutane.

    My son is 15 and suffers from acne. The doctor as placed him on a course of Accutane at 40mg per day.
    He has been on it now for two weeks and the acne is clearing, however I have noticed two small bald spots in his head. He also has chapped lips.

    The doctor says that if it gets worse we are to return. But I am concerned.
    He is only 15 and I have been doing some research on the web and find that hair loss is common and can be permanent.

    Should I take him off them myself?
    Will his hair grow back?

    Your advice is welcome.
