So I started topical fin in the middle of March and was on it for a little over a month. I eventually stopped using it because I found it super hard to maintain my routine, so I swapped over to oral 1.25. I was on it for about 3 weeks and had crazy growth in that time. I had temples coming back and everything. Unfortunately, I started to develop gyno after that short amount of time. I immediately stopped taking the medication in late May. It’s been about 2 months and pretty much all of my symptoms have gone away. I would very much like to take fin again, but I am scared of what to do. I have tried scheduling with a dermatologist, but I was told it’s going to be around a 6-month wait for an appointment. Should I maybe try taking topical again and see where that takes me ?
Switching back to topical fin could potentially help maintain hair growth with fewer systemic side effects. It’s worth a shot while you wait for your derm appointment.
