acne?

[barcafan]

Anyone else getting a lot of back acne while on finasteride? Im on it for a couple months and now my lats have alot of very small 'pimples' (except they're not red, hardly noticible unless i run my hands down my back.

Any way to alleviate this?

Since I began my regime, acne has appeared on my forehead, but no where else on my face. So I don't know if it's the Proscar or the Regaine which is causing it.

But a good thing is that since I began Proscar, the keratosis pilaris on the tops of my arms has almost disappeared. Before, it was bright red and now it's hardly noticeable.

Yep, I'm getting the acne on my forehead too. I've been taking finasteride for 3 months now. Any sign that it will go away after a year or so?

At this point I'm willing to live with the acne to save my hairline. The meds seem to be doing their magic.
