A member asked:
Is the use of rogaine on the face safe to use for beard growth? are there any side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The main ingredient of rogaine solution is minoxidil which has a strong hypotensive effect but oral minoxidil causes hirsutism (increased hair growth all over the body) so topical minoxidil, rogaine, was made. I think this lotion is approved for use in scalp for stimulating hair growth then it can be used on the skin. I have not read any report about the systemic side effect of topical minoxidil.
