Finasteride-induced gynecomastia - Remove entire gland or try topical dutasteride?

Asked By:Neat423201 in St. Augustine, Florida

I have finasteride induced gyno. I came up with two possible ideas. One is find a surgeon that removes the entire gland, however, I am not sure this will make it impossible for the gyno to regrow if I continue Fin. The other idea is to try topical dutasteride as it has been shown to have less systemic effects than oral and topical Fin.
