A member asked:
I'm a woman that recently started taking finasteride and having a tingling sensation all over scalp and headache/itching. could this be related?

Stop its use if...: The surest way to confirm if finasteride causes your symptoms is stop its use, wait, and see. So, report what you suspected to the prescribing doctor or just stop its us as suggested above since taking finasteride is non-urgent or not essential, esp. its use in females.
