I was told by my dermatologist that using minoxidil for alopecia barbae and then later stopping is okay and results wont be lost like they would with male patterned baldness. she said its completely different so you wont lose results. accurate?

This is against the conventional belief by physicians and dermatologists that hair gained from taking or applying minoxidil will be lost after it's discontinued. It may take months,however.
