Does minox low t/androgens?

[It'snotover]

I heard this from many people, is it true? I started to use minoxidil 2% spray on my eyebrows 10 days ago, will this kill my androgen receptors considering that i'm still in puberty? Should i use it after i finished puberty or not?

No, it doesn't. But people who use minox on non-scalp locations often have low T to begin with (little to no t being produced for a variety of reasons including environmental xenoestrogens), then as it falls even lower naturally with age, they mistakenly blame minoxidil for it.

It may make your skin dry though, not because of ethanol, but the propylene glycol (white stuff or residue on your skin after applying minox). Wash that off in about 4-6 hours and moisturize.

It's just a Vasodilator, has no effect on AR's

Yeah the skin around the eyebrows is a bit dry but that isn't a problem. I always thought that was strange that minoxidill killed androgens because it just grows hair, fin and dud really low dht but that's because their function is to prevent hair loss that is regolated by dht.
