I started taking 0.5 mg Dutasteride in april of 2020 and a month or two later my gynecomastia, which I have had since puberty, started getting worse (my weight is normal). My nipples were hard most of the time and I noticed a soft lump in my left breast that can be moved around. I stopped taking Dutasteride in August 2020 hoping the gyno would somehow go away or at least stop progressing. By January the gyno hadn't improved and my hairline was starting to deteriorate significantly, so I started taking dutasteride again, and as expected the gyno is starting to get worse again.
I was wondering if switching to finasteride would reduce the side effects, but at the same time I'm not sure there wouldn't be any negative consequences in doing so.
I'm aware of alternatives like RU and spironolactone, but they are a bit too expensive and/or too experimental ).
I really don't want to choose between worsening my gynecomastia and losing my hair. What can I do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
