Is Minoxidil Advisable For Facial Hair Growth?

Hello Doctor, I am in a dilemma to use or not to use Minoxidil for facial hair growth to cover the areas which doesn t have hair an my face. I have also started with the solution but haven t really followed a routine and have been following some articles over the internet. However, I have a doubt the pack says 5% Minoxidil IP w/v and 0.1% Finasteride IP w/v and I am doubtful about the Finasteride. Please help! Thank you

Hello,

Minoxidil carried many adverse effects including infertility. It should be used under the guidance of a dermatologist also. Consult a dermatologist and he will direct you accordingly.
