i've only been on finasteride for one month, but i seem to have noticed my hair thickening up quite a bit. it may be all in my mind, but i like this feeling, i don't worry about my hair as much, because i think it looks ok now.
i know i posted before about gyno, but now i've realised there is no constant pain in my chest, so i don't have it.
i definately have noticed my nipples getting more puffy though. this is not a delusion. my question is: will this side effect go away? i can live with puffy nipples, they don't hurt, they're not irritating, and not very noticeable. but i'd rather live without them if you know what i mean?
so. will this side effect go away? and if so, how long before it does go away? and if i stop finasteride, it will definately go away right? (i'm not scarring myself in the long run?)
another note: even though finasteride is not known to regrow hair at temples, i've seen small hairs around that area. i know it's not great thick hairs, but there is definately noticeable amounts of thin little hairs there. is this possible?
edit to post: i just took some more pictures, it seems my initial thoughts were wrong. i seem to have gotten thinner on top. this is odd. is there any reason why pictures would show less density on top? (other than the fact that i'm losing more hair). because i don't want to believe i'm losing more hair. i want to believe i'm regrowing lost hairs. could it be because my hair is longer? or what is it?
