Anyone apply rogaine with a glove on?

[JHCL1990]

Like a glove nurse's/doctor's would use? I figure when I rub in my rogaine foam/liquid it's absorbing a bit into my fingers, so if I use a glove, or even a plastic bag over my hand when I apply it, I can avoid this issue.

Thoughts?

I think it's highly unlikely you're going to start growing hair on your fingertips, if that's what you're worried about. If you're worried about the small amount of absorption that could possibly occur via your fingertips, keep in mind you're slathering your scalp with the stuff anyway. I would take care with the S5 cream, however. I believe some degree of systemic absorption can occur if you regularly use too much (despite what the few, brief studies indicate).

Don't use S5 cream anymore. Forgot to update my regimen. That stuff is useless.

I actually think about using a glove sometimes, just to limit systemic absorption even more. I already wash my hands thoroughly afterwards and sleep with a shower cap on.

No apply it with your fingers, if youre worried about growing hairs on your fingers thats not gonna happen.
