Did Propecia Eliminate My Body Hair?

I have been on Propecia for over a year. I think it stopped my hair loss and overall my hair appears thicker. I used to have to shave my knuckles and feet before I started the propecia as well as I always had hair coming out of my ears. I recently looked at my feet then my hands and all over my body and noticed that all the hair has vanished. I was just wondering if that was normal. I am relieved that I am not as hairy as I used to be but should I be concerned?

The finding you report is uncommon, though I have had quite a few emails about this phenomenon over the past month and others have periodically reported this side effect over time as well. It did not impact my ear, nose, or body hair, so that is a personal disappointment for me. I don’t see it as any cause for concern.
