minoxidil Question

[[email protected]]

I am skeptical about starting minoxidil. I have heard it causes the hair to fall out and sometimes it dosent grow back. Can any users share their experiences with minoxidil? Thanks.

If you havent used minoxidil, then dont start. It ages the face and makes you look horrible. I stoped using minoxidil 3 months ago and i still have a wrinkly forehead and dark circles. Its not woth it trust me. Its the biggest mistake of my life. Im depressed over how i look cutrently, not wanting anyone to ser my face.

For me it caused some shedding at the start of treatment, but over time it got better. One of the more annoying side effects it causes me is irritation and skin flaking. I use 2% ketoconazole shampoo and it helps with that problem. I don't regret starting it, but you need to be committed to the treatment and not give up.

I am not worried about the face. Can anyone please share their minoxidil shed timelines?

I used 5% for about 2 months and then shed some.
Now its my first month on 10% and i see no shedding.

You can use aloe vera for the shed. Some members say it helps to minimise the shedding.

minoxidil will not increase the rate of miniaturization. Any shedding you get would be temporary. It would not make long term prospects worse than it would be otherwise, only better
