Propecia. Slight burning sensation in nipple area

B
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 ?

Thanks for your query. Minoxidil helps in retaining the hair and thus helps in preventing further hair loss and maintaining it. Hope it helps.All The Best

If you are having hair loss issues of your eyebrows and you believe you have an infection, you need to see a doctor. Apple vinegar or mouthwash will not help.

Applying minoxidil on your scalp for hair loss treatment has nothing to do with weight gain.  A high calorie diet without exercise will cause weight gain.

Propecia is an option. There are also other options you could use: I have great success in my practice using injectable progesterone and prp to the scalp. A transplant is another option. I suggest you see a cosmetic dermatologist who specializes in hair loss for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

Once hair goes grey it typically doesn't redarken, however, I have seen hair repigmentation in some instances with PRP and latisse.  The best treatment is hair coloring.  Best, Dr. Emer.
