Hey guys,
what is your opinion? Long story short: Tried finasteride for only 2 weeks 0.25 every day. But stoped the drug because of chest pain and memory loss.

Now after 4 months since i quit, my crown area is hurting.started around 1 month ago. It comes and goes evry 2 to 3 days starting with touchable bumps under the skin followed with strong burning just around the crown area. they dont feel like pimpels more like when you hit your arm or leg on something you get these little hematomas. kind of just smaller.

Everytime i have this senseation the next morning i shed double the amount of hair as usually around 150-200 hairs. since i took the pils my body hair increased especaily beard and chest. also i have days that my libido is very high.

what the f*** is going on how can i stop these burning in the crown? I never ever had hairloss in this area and no pain. did anybody also had it and did it go away?
advice needed!

You're saying Finasteride caused it, but you quit it 4 months ago. Come on, even confirmation bias has a limit.

Your scalp is probably inflamed. That is a symptom of hairloss, so you're just losing more hair and it's a normal thing, considering you're not doing anything to treat your hairloss now. It doesn't matter that you've never had hairloss in that area before, there's always a first time for everything.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

All evidence leads me to believe you have hairloss, the feeling in your scalp is a symptom of your hairloss and you're interpreting it as something Finasteride caused. You've been off Finasteride for 4 MONTHS, come on. It's textbook confirmation bias. And the fact you used only 0.25 shows you were afraid of side effects before you even started Finasteride.

If you still want to treat your hairloss, get on 1mg Finasteride, this time for real. Being afraid of side effects just makes them even more likely to happen because of placebo effect.
