A member asked:

Does minoxidil work for a transguy and what can i do when my skin gets dry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Minixidil applications are effective for either sex. To combat dry skin, apply moisturizers like alphakeri lotion after bath or shower while the skin is still moist. Abnormally dry skin can be due to an underactive thyroid.
