Finasteride-induced puffy nipples?

[HairlossSucks]

Hi all,

 

I have recently started taking proscar (1/5th of a pill per day) for the last 3 weeks ( a few weeks after my hair transplant). Everything has gone ok thus far with regards to the medication (no side effects to date), however I have noticed my nipples have become more puffy in the last 2 days. By puffy, I mean that they are more dome shaped as opposed to being flat. I am in good health, exercise regularly and am not in the least fat (am slim). This occurrence, although not terribly unsightly, does however raise very concerning questions:

 

- Can my nipples return to normal after my body readjusts? If so, how long should I keep on taking proscar until I can determine whether they will go?

 

- Does this mean that I am prone to developing more severe gynecomastia?

 

- Is the initial onset of puffy nipples at all common?

 

- Is it something that should worry me?

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time

Forgot to add that no lumps can be felt or seen (just a thin layer of fat above the muscle), and that the nipples do not feel sensitive (feel normal).

puffy nipples could be caused by increased oestrogen due to the higher levels of free test due to finesteride usage being converted to estradol? go to your GP..... continue use as they may be another reason not related to fin use... to get an idea on how fin effects your homes please read id rather be a chrome dome than suffer like this thread.

Yes this is a common side effect.
