That's not the case right now, and it just dawned on me I haven't touched fin in months and nothing is changing.
    I'm thinking about surgery, but only after I've found a regimine that works, and doesn't cause gyne flares. Probably next year, around this time (end of Summer, rather).

    Personally I'm not so sure getting off fin will get rid of the medication induced gyne. I've read this too, but personal experience says otherwise.

    Hairline still getting worse after 2 months on minox foam. I'm losing this battle fast but the war will be won. Going to begin saving for a Rahal HT in summer of 2014. Entire frontal zone restored. Shouldn't take more than 3000 grafts max to do this at a decent density. Then I'll touch up every few years as needed with Gho or Nigam or whomever can regenerate donor hair. The tech will improve each year. By 2020 we'll have something that can stop further loss without sides and also give us good regrowth. I will beat this. Just gotta keep positive and save money.

    Hate to say it but Andractim would obliterate your gyno (clinically proven to do so in 80% of 5AR-inhibitor induced gyno cases).

    Unfortunately its main side effect is hair loss.

    I Suffered from drug-induced gyno in the space of a month at 22 here. I now have a normal-looking chest and I am currently 8 months after surgery to remove it. Sorry for sounding so pessimistic but once it's there, it doesn't subside magically. You had a chance to prevent it if you had stopped finasteride after feeling chest pain for the first time. I suggest you consult gynecomastia.org and start looking for a good surgeon. Insurance covers it if you live in France or in Belgium, elsewhere in the world, forget about it.

    any scars or sensitivity? I'm in the USA so no chance insurance will cover it.

    It's so f$%king ridiculous, it's nearly comical.

    Hey dont want to lose your hair? I have a super drug for you. Only thing is, you'll have to trade your hair for tits, depression and a limp noodle. Oh but, don't worry, we have something for your side effects, but, it will cost you your hair.

    Here's another good one: we save our hair to increase our chances of copulating with the opposite sex using a drug that causes low libido and impotence.
