Any idea on how to get tolerance? I get pretty bad heart side effects if I use more than 37.5mg a week. Maybe prolonged use will do that.

Severe heart pain. I feel like something is pricking it and shortness of breath. Sometimes lung and kidney pain too. Pretty scary.

I'm sure skin care routine is way more important than ask what dose of minoxidil will give you 'bad skin'. That being said, I've used up to 5mg without any problem in my skin. In fact I had worse skin texture before minoxidil because I wasn't using a proper skin care routine.
Based on the forums it seems those who do report it will experience it at any dose.

What is included in your skin care? I used moisturizers but they had no effect, only antiandrogens and HRT improved the texture and moisture of the skin. I'm not an expert, but it seems to me that the moisturizer is a sham. They only work until you wash them off your skin.

My skin care routine is:
Morning:
1° cleansing milk
2° foaming cleansing gel
3° Dry out my skin with a towel(renew it every two uses)
4° Salicylic acid 2% serum
5° Moisturizer.
Night
1° cleansing milk
2° foaming cleansing gel
3° Dry out my skin with a towel
4° Peptides serum
5° Tretinoin 0.025% (wait 20 min after serum to give time to dry out)
6° Wait 20 min and then use moisturizer.
And remember, the most important skin care product is the sun screen. Always wear it whenever you go outside and reaply evwry 2-3 hours

Probably no more than 2.5mg
I do not notice worsening in my skin at a dose of 12 mg .. but it must be said that I also take anti-androgens so I think they help .. I recommend not taking doses higher than 10mg because in my opinion it makes no sense .. the important thing is to combine minoxidil with a hormone treatment that works for us .. otherwise you can take even 50mg but without androgen coverage it will not have any positive effect.

Have you tried not taking care of your skin? Is her condition getting worse? All I do now is wash my face with cleansing gel in the morning and before bed. Nothing else.

Yeah I tried once and it gets bad again. Is like hair loss medication, you have to commit for life if you want to keep the gains.
