A member asked:
Should the minoxidil topical solution be washed off after each application on the scalp or can it be every other application?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leave it on: It really does not need to be washed off. You should apply it after washing and then leave it on. I wouldn't expect it to do a whole lot if you wash it off right away.
