A member asked:
Does topical minoxidil work specifically for the front scalp and reading hairline? have seen mixed reviews.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minoxidil: Minoxidil stimulates hair follicles. I am unaware if any literature that it is selective to the front of the scalp. However it is applied topically and the amount and frequency could make a difference.
