Is rogaine making my face look fat?

[jay2k8]

I been using rogaine foam on my hairline for about a year now. I been looking at some old photos and I have noticed my face is fat. Has anyone else had similar results?

yes, minoxidil causes water retention and this is a side effect. i stopped using it completely, but you may want to try applying it to a dry scalp and/or applying less to try and avoid this side effect.

Thats great advice bud.I too get facial swelling from minoxidil and its very annoying.What i do to try and avoid it now is use minoxidil on a dry scalp while wearing gloves and also use less minoxidil.Also you would want to watch the sodium in your diet.
