It's been 2 days that I stopped minoxidil and my skin is doing so much better but I'm terrified, I'm afraid of finding myself bald.

Testimonials from people who have stopped the minoxidil, how long it takes to have a sheeding after stopping.

You’ll be bald in 3-12 months

I have to stop it, my face has been swelling for some time, I didn't look like anything anymore. Do you think its a game-changer that I'm on finasteride, could my hair be saved?

I have quit minoxidil at least 10 times and never had any bad shedding. I think you would be fine using 2 percent if you had sides and you could use it every other day if every day is giving you sides.

Im not sure how effective it would be but if you are getting water retention your face dandelion root might help as it is a natural diuretic.

Any new hair from minoxidil will be lost, regardless of whether you're on Fina

Ok thanks and you know when the sheeding is going to happen after the shutdown?
What formula are you on?

I had terrible skin on cheap minoxidil with PG + ethanol and found that the pg and alcohol free stuff was significantly better for my face hair and skin, also reverse some of the skin issues by hopping on tretinoin its godly for skin restoration and anti ageing (best advice ever).
