Propecia. Slight burning sensation in nipple area

bigbro79Oct 1, 2016
Hi I've been on propecia for three weeks now and the other day I experienced a slight burning sensation in my nipples. It has happened on two different days and wasnt continual throughout the day , just when my shirt rubbed against them etc ...My nipples did look slightly puffier one morning in the mirror too ... Is this a sign of the dreaded gyno? Will I need to come off propecia ?

It is best to have a consultation with a hair transplant surgeon to discuss all of your non surgical options for hair loss, including minoxidil

It is best to have a formal consultation and evaluation with a hair restoration specialist. You may need further testing, and it is important to have a physician track your loss as well as progress and discuss all options available to you.

IF minoxidil is applied to your mustache, this drug will not cause weight gain.  Watch your diet and see if it changed
