Hi everyone. New to this forum. So I started losing hair at my temples at around 22 (25 now) and haven't really done anything about it, apart from minoxidil which I started taking over a year ago. However, my hairfall hasn't stopped (because minoxidil alone doesn't do anything or so I've read), so now i want to go on a 1mg dose of finasteride. Now from the research that I've done, apart from the other side effects, the most concerning is gynecomastia. Should I start the dose? If not, what specific additional research should I do? If I contract gynecomastia, does stopping the drug heal it or would I have to resort to surgery.
By the way, I'm not even certain that I have a genetic predisposition to male patterned baldness. I'm extremely confused as to what I should do.
