Topical finasteride

Hi, Hi, I have been advised to take a lotion that contains finasteride(0.1% w/v)+minoxidil(5% w/v) but have been really scared reading about the side effects t of oral finasteride that are more on the sexual side. Can or does the topical finasteride have potentially the same side effects?
