Noticed a red dot on my left temple today... I obviously still have some scalp inflammation at day 15, super bummed as I thought it was overall improving.

Not sure if propecia is working for me guys... I’m gonna stick with it but not optimistic

Good to see a few of us all starting around the same time.

Is scalp inflammation a common side of finasteride then?

I had it before starting propecia, just not too strong. When I tried propecia and stopped I got it really bad... it was terrible. Now that I’m back on it’s much better but not gone.

I don’t think it’s a common side, for most people it really helps with inflammation actually

Hey @AnxiousAndy , i have tingly nipples all of a sudden, i drink a ton of alcohol every day and i am on finasteride. Should i be worried?.
Nah, tingly nipples isn't a sign of gyno. Its when your nipples start to hurt and are sensitive to touch is when you know it's coming.

Touch as in a gentle touch?, or if I squeeze them? . When i pinch them they hurt...
If anyone pinches their nipples it would hurt lol. Yes as in a gentle touch, when I lightly touch mine I feel some minor pain.

When do you guys take your pill by the way? I've been taking mine around 7am as I read testosterone is at its highest in the morning? I'm not sure how difference this makes

I am picking up my prescription tomorrow. Mostly looking to try and regrow my hairline. Crown is still decent. I have read some success stories on here regarding hairline regrowth so hopefully it goes well. Have a 6 month prescription. Also picking up nizoral and have some min at home and a 6 month prescription in the mail. Fingers crossed!

I keep starting and thinking that it’s giving me a weird sensation in my chest area. I’ve been taking it every other day for only a week and have already had to stop. I’m not sure if this could be in my head
