I started minoxidil for beard about 3 weeks ago. Today I noticed what I call an abnormal amount of hair fall from stroking my hair at the length of 3mm(15x2 3mm strands ish for two stroking sessions).

Are chances that the minoxidil has gone systemic and cause telogen hairs on my scalp to fall?

I only see these 3mm hairs, and not thick healthy hair. I'm really mind fucked rn.

Bump

Just curious, is 3mm hairs a sign I have some sort of thinning? Will minoxidil work on my scalp too or do I need dht blocker?

Bumping this.

The hair shredded during minoxidil shed, is it telogen hairs that will shed? So I will shed from places where I actually had telogen hairs if it went systemic?

Went to a derm, and nothing out of the ordinary was found when inspecting my hair. I'll wait 1 year and see where it's at.

any topical minoxidil goes systemic and inevitably affects hair all over your body, you'll have a better beard as well as more hairy body, scalp, eyebrows...
