Hi guys,
I was on minoxidil for 6 months. During the 6 months, I noticed that my face became bloated and my skin looked very "old." After lurking forums, I learned that this is a pretty common occurrence with the drug. After I dropped minoxidil everything went back to normal. Are there anyways I could combat these sides in the future? Whenever I do add in minoxidil again, I was planning on using using .5 ml (literally like a dab on my temples, forelock, and cowlick area) and Retin-A a couple times a week. Thoughts?
