Got gynocomastia on finasteride 1mg
So I have androgenetic alopecia and a dermatologist prescribed oral finasteride 1mg; after 2-3 weeks I am noticing tenderness and puffiness around the chest, and shrinkage of private parts.
After bringing this up with the dermatologist I'm prescribed another medicine called dutasteride, which I guess is similar to finasteride.
So what are my option now that topical solution isn't effective and finasteride gives me side effect?
Thank you
