Never had anything like that and I have been on finasteride nearly 8 months now.. Actually it's probably 8 months right now....

yeah i get the occasional pimple, also I didn't have them pre-hairloss medications.

So it's either :finasteride, minoxidil, Nizoral or T/Gel

When I started finasteride (2 months ago), I had a lot of pimples pop up on my face. I started using some random facial cleanser and they went away. Don't think I've had any of my head though.

How odd you posted this, while I was laying down last night, I felt a pain in my scalp, it was a fairly large pimple!

:freaked2:

I never got them before either, so it's nizoral or finasteride.

I've thought about these damn red zits and i've come to the conclusion they're just follicals that have been damaged and are becoming infected.

or they could be ingrown hairs. which would mean a new hair is trying to sprout!

I am pretty sure that it is the finasteride because it happened to me when i started. Nothing major just the occasional zit and that was before I was using nizoral, it has gone away but I know for some it is wise to expect to breakout from time to time while on finasteride.

Pimples in the first few weeks of using Propecia are normal. The pimples result from an increased testosterone level. This increase also causes people to have an increased sex drive for the first few weeks. But soon enough the body adjusts, the skin becomes dry and so does the sex drive.

I'd love less oily skin! :D

But, as im on the horny side of finasteride about now, I worry that my body won't even out after the upcoming drop, and my drive will be sub-par.

I get a few pimples specifically on my scalp.

I've been blaming Nizoral, as I use it twice a week and the pimples seem to come and go during the week.
