Hello,
I have been using minoxidil for almost 110 days now. I went through a bad shed 10 days after starting to apply it that stopped in a month. I am going through a bad second shed right now, twice in 3 months. However I am trying to keep the shed out of my mind coz I think my hair seems thicker or atleast the same ( or I am seeing that coz thats what I wanna see :), dont know ).

Anyways my main worry is the body hair. It has given me lot of body hair and when I say lots..I mean LOTS...I have haid where I never used to have hair and some places where you are not supposed to have hair.

Is this sumthin I should worry about, not appearance wise but health wise. I know water retention is dangerous and minoxidil shud be avoided if you get it. is it the same with body hair? I think not ? what do you guys suggest ?

Thanks

When you apply it, has it ran out of your scalp? Is your scalp wet when you apply?

hmmm...I sumtimes apply it in the morning when the scalp maybe a little moist...not wet...but maybe u know a little wet then completely dry. I take a shower, comletely dry my hair and then apply minoxidil....

night time its completely dry ?

I think I dont have nay water retention problem ( touchwood :) )...maybe i am just too sensetive to its hair growing effect, but unfortunately on the body only :(

Try to make it as dry as possible.

Maybe put it on, then shower it off an hour later since it's Dr Lee's. This might help the situation.
