Thanks for the feedback on my thread 
It's difficult to see if you're progressing with the treatment as your pictures are quite varied. Can you try to take current baseline pictures from the same angles and lighting, then take photos every few months. It's quite important to have sharp focus and the same light levels for each set of images or there is no way to check progress on a forum like this.

Looks like you have a bit of finasteride gyno going on there, I'd keep an eye on that.

Fair enough, you're in the best position to judge. But looking at your pictures of page 2 compared to the ones on page 3 you seem to have gained a lot of size in your chest/breasts without an equal amount of gain in the stomach/arms etc, that indicates finasteride gyno to me.
Your 'boobs', as you refer to them, weren't really noticeable at all in the pic on page 2, you could tell you were a little overweight, but nothing major. The pics on page 3 seem to show true gyno though, rather than simply being fat deposits from being overweight (that said, it could just be the angle of the photos).
Anyway, like I said, you're in the best position to judge, but I'd certainly keep an eye on it. The earlier you address it, the more chance you have of snuffing it out. Leaving gyno untreated can lead to it becoming permanent and the only treatment being surgery.
I'd see a doctor and get some tests done personally, better safe than sorry.
(I mean you no offense in what I've said here btw, just trying to help out. I've run into finasteride gyno myself and it can be quite deceptive.)

I don't think it's necessarily that straight forward. Maybe for steroid related gyno because it's caused by such a quick and severe change to the hormones, finasteride gyno seems to creep up on you a lot more.
My nipples were never painful and I never had any lumps, only indicator was occasional itchiness which I didn't pay much attention to. I didn't really have traditional gyno per se though, it was more just puffiness in the breast/nipple area.
@Mann, any normal GP will do. I just told my Doctor I was a bit concerned about it and he ran the necessary blood tests to confirm.
Sorry to derail your topic btw Mann. On the topic of your hair, just keep persevering with the big 3, give it some time and things will start to look up.
