My Erect, White Nipple — Is it From Propecia?

I started taking 1mg of propecia, 2 months ago. I noticed less shedding. I also noticed that my right nipple is almost always erect. The tip is also white. I brought it to the attention of my physician. He says its nothing and likely not the result of the propecia. I’m a little concerned that it may be a side effect. Any thoughts on what I’ve just described?

Breast enlargement may be behind the erect nipple. You could try stopping the Propecia to see if the problem goes away in a couple of weeks to even a few months. Have a doctor examine your chest for signs of breast tissue enlargement. There is not much I could recommend trying without examining you in person. For more, please see:
