3 months off minoxidil

thought it might be useful to others so here is my experience stopping minoxidil

Context:
So i have naturally sparse and thin eyebrows which is what made me start to use topical minoxidil on my eyebrows. I used 5% topical minoxidil on my eyebrows for 5-6 months before I had to stop because I kept getting seborrheic dermatitis. The only side effect was itchiness. However, about 3 months ago my dermatologist prescribed me some medication to cure my skin. After getting these products, I started to get seborrheic dermatitis on my eyebrows. I am unsure whether or not this is because of the skin care products because I also have eczema and it gets bad in the winter.

After Stopping:
It's been about 2-3 months after stopping topical minoxidil. To keep it short, I did see a bit of shedding. My skin is better on my eyebrows now but I don't want to start minoxidil again until spring or whenver I stop using these skin care products. Luckily not all of my hair grown from minoxidil was lost. I'd say that I still have most of my hairs grown from minoxidil and I guess only time will tell whether or not these hairs will shed.

anyways thanks for reading

Anyone shed since using it for hairline?

never used it for hairline, only eyebrows. i'd say that i did shed a bit more but less than when I first stopped. and I also kept some of my hairs from minoxidil
