Regular Member Spock Posted September 17, 2004 Regular Member Share Posted September 17, 2004 I see it's been about 2 years since someone has mentioned this. Does anyone have any experience with this side effect also? I'm just wondering and compiling a list of Finasteride side effects. Since it blocks DHT and body hair production is supposed to be partially enabled by DHT, I was wondering... Been on it a week and so far just a bit of dandruff.

Pumpkin Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I know that your post is pretty old, but I wanted to share my thoughts on this. When I started taking Proscar, I noticed my scalp was itchy and it felt kind of numb. I welcomed the change because I thought that was evidence it was doing something! About 1-2 months later, the side-effects were all gone, and my hair was thicker. As for body hair, it is influenced by many things and DHT is only one. I shave my body to allow my hard-earned muscle to be seen, and I have not noticed any difference whatsoever in body hair. However, my facial hair seems to be thicker and darker. I'm pretty sure it has caused this, but it hasn't increased or decreased my body hair to my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
