Should I Resume Rogaine? I'm 22, And Stopped For A Month

no disrespect DBW but i think some poster overworry about minoxdil. The dose which cause collgen damage were freaking high.
Moreover if you get wrinkle on your forehead it is because of frowning and sun damage , much more than minoxidil.

Mabye, but there are just too many reports of intense/rapid skin damage from using topical minoxidil. Not something you can completely write off. Like I said, after just 2 weeks of not using the stuff, it looked like my skin had gone from a 35 year olds, to a 20 year olds.

Nocebo is based on a person anticipating a side effect. I was unaware of any skin related complaints prior to discovering the stuff was making my skin look bad.

Almost as common as the nocebo is the it-would-have-happened-anyway effect. You might simply have connected skin changes to your minoxidil usage when the changes would have happened anyway.

Then again I'm sure minoxidil can have damaging effects on skin, it definitely can puff up my eyes, I wasn't applying carefully enough and using to high a dose though. But the skin where I apply it hasn't damaged at all. I think the main concern with minoxidil is picking the right dose. I use half of the stated dose, using the full dose gave me puffy eyes and a really itchy head.

If your dick is getting smaller definitely reduce your dosage

(I highly doubt topical minoxidil could do this).

I just don't believe this. I cover my entire scalp (besides the sides) in rogaine. Literally 10-15 cap fulls twice a day every day and I have had 0 skin issues, nor any other side effect
