Phenytoin has an interesting side effect hirsuitism/hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth). I wonder if you could use this as a topical instead of oral drug to localize the effect as it is an antiepileptic drug. This is a quite common side effect of the drug.

Thats just great! Now I have to experiment with that too! BTW I wonder if phen is similar to allantoin because thats what is in my miconazole antifungal cream. I'll have to research.

Allantoin is completely different by the way. Also phenytoin side effects are slight and therefore taking orally is not all that bad of an idea. It has some qualities that improve cognitive function and so I purchased some to try it orally.
