Study linking finasteride to increase estradiol and P450!!

A fe weeks ago I posted a study/journal article linking finasteride to increase in Melasma a condition usually associated with pre-menopausal women, whereby the doctors theorized a change in the ration of estrogen to progesterone.

Here is another study with similar findings

Interesting study. I have developed some melasma recently on my left temple.

This developed 4 yrs after discontinuation of fin.

The timing may have coincided with my first use of progesterone cream, but I never connected the two until reading this.

Found a bit more of the article HERE

I wonder how this can be treated.
