Experiencing Side Effects 3 Days into Topical Fin; Long-term Topical Min User Seeking Advice on Dosage

Treatments Finasteride
1

I started topical fin 3 days ago. 0.025% topical in a 1ml solution with min which i use x1 a day. ( if it do it x2 does that mean 0.05% daily (0.5mg))

Either way, im getting some dull ache pain in my testicles but im 99% sure its just a nocebo. Can i have some cope, because 1) its topical 2) its a TINY -amount

Ive been on topical Min now for 7 months + havent rlly seen any improvement so decided to start fin but ive been really anxious

Surely its just a nocebo?

Another question. If i took the 0.1ml amount x2 1ml thats 2mg? So why do ppl take more?

Topical fin has low systemic absorption, so side effects are less likely but not impossible. Anxiety might play a role here. If using 0.025% and applying 1ml, it’s about 0.25mg of fin daily. Doubling application doubles dosage, but systemic effects remain lower than oral. Some need higher doses for efficacy based on individual response. Min can take longer to show results; don’t lose hope yet. Check out The Beginner’s Guide for more info.
