 		Hey raeneligan!

Just a question: Why didn't you switch to Dr Lee's Spironolactone Lotion 5%? I've been reading alot about Dr Lee's products since my little breast incident and it seems that not only is a anti-DHT lotion safer, I guess it makes more sense than taking a pill which kinda circulates the body and does god-knows what else in addition to helping the hair...

Well, just a thought... I see that there are no suck side-effects to the lotion and there is reference to trials that see it being just as effective as Propecia... But of course no FDA approval.

Any thoughts?

 		Mr T. With all due respect, your "little bump" will NOT go away. I am a body builder and because I use steroids that increse the amount of Testosterone I have in my body, it also makes my body produce MORE ESTROGEN. I always check my nipples for swelling, sensitivity and bumps due to this. When I feel a slight burning/itching or notice swelling I use an anti e like Arimidex or Nolvadex, right away because THEY WORK!

Its your body and you can choose what you wanna do but dont come here and ask for an answer you might not be happy with, even if its the cold hard truth. Now that you have fatty deposits in your breast that you are trying to ignore, get ready for surgery or start wearing a BRA! Choice is yours...

Again my advice is: get off and stay off Propecia or start using an anti e or get some type of surgery to remove any bumps you may have grown as they will not go away by wishful thinking.

 		Yo TEST SUBJECT #01!

Your posts are quite aggresive man, so I'll put it down to a hard day at work.

First of all, I quit Propecia at the first sign of the bump - yeah it was my mistake not to quit when I felt the initial pain in my nipple, but we live and learn and I got no problem with that...

I don't have any fatty deposits and I'm not shopping for bra's - I never got burning or itching nipples, one was slighly sesnitive to touch. The doctor said the gland became inflammed from rubbing (a combination of sweat and jujitsu grappling) and it would go away, but of course I should have stopped Propecia at the first sign of pain in the nipple.

I am thankful for your recommendation of Arimidex and I would consider using it once off - but in my case I wouldn't want to make a habit out of it. I wasn't dissing you so back up just a bit... We all have a common goal here and I don't see the point of getting aggresive about it... my 2 cents

 		sorry. In short, I thought you were gonna ask a question and then just sit on your hands when the answer could be right in front of you. Using any anti estrogen for a short period of time will not cause an individual any harm, so the next time you decide to do finasteride (?) and start to feel discomfort in your nips just use one of those or you WILL have to start using a bra. My doctor was CLUELESS about even noticing gyno, so dont always take the word of a doctor to judge your ailments.I have learned to be very aggresive rearding asking questions and looking for info that can benifit my health. No one cares more about me than me.

By the way I have been having a long WEEK, let alone day. I'll vent it out this weekend and come back a little more mellow next time.
