Minoxidil on sebaceous nevus of jadassohn

[mr the hairy monkey]

Hello folks,

I just wanted to make sure that applying minoxidil (5% topical) on a scalp affected by a sebaceous nevus of jadassohn (which is some sort of humpy spot on the skin that could cause skin cancer if hurt or expanding) is safe ?

I have one that is about 1cm² diameter ,I had it since my early age (good old days ) it seems , seeing that I always felt a hump in that area, however ... hair is growing onto it , lately I am told that lots of my father's side family members had it.

why I am asking this ? because I know that minoxidil causes skin irritation and inflammation in some cases , and most of all , because I don't want to wind up having skin cancer ==> means chemotherapy ==> means all the hair gone .... it boils down to "take minoxidil to end up bald" , ironic isn't it ?

note that I've been taking minoxidil 5% for about 6 months[last year] (thankfully without any above-mentioned skin-harming side effects)

thank you blokes in advance for the oncoming answers I hope. nfire:

Ask your doctor but you must have cautions because Minoxidil acts as an anti-hypertension agent have been mainly attributed to its potassium channel-opening effect,

Gracias para la (reply in spanish) senor Armando Jose.

I am planning to see him after my thyroid / blood tests next week , I won't be risking to take minoxidil meanwhile.

I do realize that my question was awkward somehow, knowing that people with this condition aren't that numerous , and are even rarer with this on their head (provided that they're balding and taking minoxidil).

Thank you once again for your consideration Armando Jose!
