Penil feeling of discomfort and tingling feet with topical finasteride 4x/week at 0.025%

[arthurSam]

Hello,
I stareted topical finasterid from 4 month, at the begening using 3x a week 0.025%.

Now I use 0.025% 4x a week since around 2 month. From 10 day I am experiencing some penil disconfort and from 2 day tingling feet.

Do you think it will pass with time ? Or do I beter use lower dose 3x a week ?

Thanks you very much !

Do you take any other medication that may cause adverse reactions when combined ?

Tingling in the feet is listed as a possible side effect. The Mayo Clinic mention it here. Minoxidil and tingling feet You should reach out to whoever prescribes you the medication, speak to them about your concerns.

I take minox from more than 20 years and never got this side effect... so I doubt it is that...

Thanks you anyway taking time to respond to me

Have you mentioned Ed this to the doctor that prescribes you?

I saw my doctor and I got a banalitis. Test for bacteria show nothing... So perhaps it's a mycosis but I do not got test for this, only local treatement ...

I still wonder if it can be a secondary effect from topical finasteride... after stopping topical fina for 2 day I am feeling good... It's weird because my dosage is very small... I will wait a little and try again at 3x a week instead of 4x a week.

I thought the chances were near zero for sides with the topical solutions.

Well I now stop using topical fina because after retrying I get sides with 0.01%...

I got prostatis symptoms and digestion problems and constipation and penil discomfort.

After stopping topical fina for 1 week I feel better now.

I will try Xyon topical dutasteride gel 1% 1x/week for some time and see if it is better. Xyon said that a daily usage of topical duta 2% reduce only dht in blood by 12% insted of 33% with topical fina. They said also that 1x/week still give results.
