Can i use rogaine (minoxidil) on my face? what will happen if i stop using it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rogaine (minoxidil): Rogaine (minoxidil) is intended to prevent hair loss on the scalp, so i can't conceive of why you would want to use the topical preparation on your face. If rogaine (minoxidil) was successful in stopping hair loss or growing hair that had been lost, once stopped hair that has regrown will fall out and hair loss will resume.
