Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am using Minoxidil and noticing dark eyes and wrinkles. Is there a way to keep using Minoxidil but counter the side effects?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Minoxidil has nothing to do with dark eye circles or wrinkles. It can lead to dryness, a bit of headache, and facial bloating. Apply it in the prescribed amount only. Not more than half a teaspoon at a time and wash your hands afterwards. Apply 5 mm inside your frontal hairline so it does not get diffused on the forehead.
