Will Finasteride Cause My Facial Hair to Stop Developing?

[Balding Blog]

As a young man I value my hair very much, both scalp and facial hair. My facial hair hasn’t yet become a full out beard but I see new hairs sprouting on my face soon after every shave, my question is will the use of Finasteride cause my facial hair to stop thickening and developing into a full beard? I would hope that I wouldn’t need to choose between my facial hair and scalp hair but frankly the scalp would win every time.

Well, I’ve never gotten a report about Propecia-related problems with facial hair development from a patient. With that said, anything is possible, but if it did happen to you, you could (I suspect) stop the drug and get the full beard growth return. I don’t know how young of a man you are, but some men just do not grow full facial hair due to genetics, unrelated to any medication they may or may not take.
