rogaine (minoxidil) can be effective if there is no scarring and the follicles are intact. rogaine for men is more effective but some of the product is absorbed into the body and can cause increased unwanted hair growth in areas such as the chin or other areas of the face.
i am an african-american woman with alopecia. my dermatologist recommended rogaine for men. is this ok for me to use? . i have stopped using any type of chemicals on my hair so now it is all natural. would using rogaine for men help my hair to grow faster than using rogaine for women?
