I quit Finasteride after 20 days because of gynecomastia symptoms. MPB - 24 years old male, could the lumps be permanent?

GoldenJeo
I started to use Finasteride(1 mg ED) 20 days ago. I started to get gynecomastia symptoms.That is why I quit Symptoms began on day 12. 1. I did not develop any lumps behind the nipple. Will this feelings (gyno like) go? Although I have stopped using Finasteride, can I develop a lump by time? 2. My hair is not so bad. Will my shedding (it is not agressive) continue in it's normal course after I stop taking Finasteride? Will I experience more shedding than usual (If I never use Finasteride)?
