Im putting only 1ml x 2 minox5% on a dry scalp, and my face is still swelling, but i'm applying it whole scalp because im a diffuse thinning..

I apply 2 ml every night - 5%... and i have not seen any changes in my face

but then I also did not notice any effects on finasteride...when i started it or a year later, i feel like nothing has an effect on me.

Consider lucky yourself.

Do you apply these 2ml in the whole scalp or only in the front/crown ?

I apply 2ml twice daily of 5% minoxidil to my whole scalp except the back and I think it's making me look a bit tired and my face is kinda pale, but I'm seeing regrowth so i'll stick with it

Dilute it to 1:5 or 1:10. If you get sides u are using too much.

I cover the entire Norwood 7 area even though I'm a NW2. I use a can of rogaine foam every 2 applications. No sides that I'm aware of.

I really cant understand why i get the side water retention. My face is like someone obese.

I put ONLY 1ml on dry scalp ( 2 hours after shower) twice a day. Plus
I eat really low sodium but it doesnt help

I was overusing it for 5months ( 10ml day with damp scalp) maybe this issue made me allergic or hypersensitive ?
I tried also retin acid but only for 2 weeks in march..

My last try is put the 2do application 4 hours after shower but i have few hopes ..
