Acne/pimples on scalp caused by Finansteride

Hello,

I have one question, does anyone of you that are on finasteride experienced acne/pimples on your scalp?

After 14 Days on finasteride big bumps starded to come on my scalp. According to my derm I have reacted on the hormones and he believes that it is acne and that it will disappear within some months.

Answers are very welcome!

I noticed a few small bumps when first starting, but they went away in two days. I took 2.5 mg of finasteride daily. I had noticed small hairs growing in my bald areas, but they only grew slightly. I stopped taking (after 10 months) as I found I was losing bone in my gums, and it might affect the health of my teeth. Sad that my choice is to lose my hair, or my teeth.

I hope it works for you.

Yes, the dermatologist allowed me to split the tabs. I am past menopause with no children at home, so no risk of pregnancy. Do some research on Ashwagandha, I just started taking it after reading how it helps regulate cortisol and thyroid ( plus other hormones). I think in my case, this is helping my hair.

Wishing you luck!
