How many of you guys have had dry skin problems flaking skin from eyebrows and down both sides of nose ?
This has been a problem for me ever since stopping finasteride.
Strange as when i was taking finasteride my skin was oily .
Many of PFSers had a dry skin problem. so am I…
My fingers and knuckles get very dry and cracked. I only recently attributed it to PFS, which I’ve had for almost 20 yrs. I’ve been to the dermatologist before and they would tell me they didn’t know what it was. lol Now I know.
I get a dry, flaky chin.
Yep, both sides of the nose. I use a shampoo with zinc pyrithione in it, which helps a bit.
That sounds a bit like seborrhoeic dermatitis.
It is, according to my dermatologist. It started happening when I got PFS though.
Ive noticed quite a few people have complained of dry skin in these area post finasteride use
Makes me wonder what the connection is and it’s a strong indication that finasteride changed something either within the blood or skin that never reverts back to pre finasteride.
I developed a red, itchy, flaky rash at the sides of my nose and my eyelids when I was still taking propecia and was diagnosed with seborrhoeic dermatitis. I also developed mild eczema on the back of my hands and elsewhere. It pretty much cleared up however with treatment and also post-finasteride.
