About a year ago i started on quarter proscar and generic extra strength minoxidil. About 5/6 months in i noticed the bags under my eyes and in particular under my right eye. The deep fold where the bags started was really pronounced and the skin under my eyes was puffy and a dark purplish colour.
I stopped both courses straight away but 6 months later my baggy eyes look exactly the same. Really annoyed because my hair loss wasnt that noticeable but now i have people asking if im ill or if ive got a black eye.
Ive read on various sites that both finasteride and minoxidil may cause these effects but im more inclined to think its the proscar rather than a topical solution.
Anyone know the cause of this and what sort of tests i could take to see if i have high levels of something that is causing it. Im 29 years old, i didnt see any other fat distribution to my face etc just effected my eyes.
For the record i did see some frontal hair growth after the 5 months. Dont know which of the 2 contributed to it but i really dont intend to find out cos that stuff has ruined my face.
