Is This Because Of Improper Use Of Minoxidil Solution. Can I Use It Carefully ?

Hi, I am 24 yrs old, and i have hair loss , I consulted an dermatalogist who advised me to apply hair4u everyday. I saw that it contains minoxidil and it has a lot of side effects such as dark spots under eyes and expansion of pores etc. Is this because of improper use of minoxidil solution or are these common effects? I am not able to decide whether to continue with it or not? Can i avoid these effects if i use it carefully, without letting it to come in contact with my facial skin? Experts please help!!!!

OK,

But i want to just retain the amount of hair that i have right now, so if i use it for just 3 time a week, will it work, and can i avoid the side effects

hi,
welcome to health care magic,
you have to apply this solution only at areas of hair loss as the side effects u r having are b'coz of skin contact on face you can continue with this treatment but if even after careful application these remain then consult your dermatologist.
