Do you definetelly know it is finasteride? where are you getting the rash? I wouldnt quit finasteride right away, as you could lose progress. If you are sure it is finasteride try cutting it down to half or quaters first. I done this due sides and now have no problems. If problem persists and your definetelly sure it is finasteride, then quit.

You may be having a hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to the medication. Please discontinue and speak with your prescribing physician as soon as possible. Drink plenty of water and call 911 if it gets difficult to swallow, speak, or breathe.
