Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Minoxidil is an anti-hypertensive drug which also promotes hair growth. Finasteride can cause gynaecomastia but with small doses there is less chance of it happening and will take a long time for it to appear. If you feel thick tissue beneath the nipple after few weeks then consult Dermatologist and get dose adjustment or drug change.
