A member asked:

Is it good if i use minoxidil to my facial hairs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Minoxidil is not used on the hair. It is used for the absence thereof. It is used for baldness, but not for other types of hair loss. Before you use it, you may need to talk to your doc to make sure you use it for the right cause.
