Sawyer shares his struggle with Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS) after using topical finasteride for just three months. He describes the persistent side effects that have continued even after stopping the medication.

PFS is a rare condition with severe physical, neurological, and sexual side effects that often persist and worsen after discontinuing finasteride. This syndrome primarily affects younger men and has no effective treatment.
