I just fucking woke up and my forehead looks different compared to the rest of my face.
Last time I was using minoxidil liquid it gave me lines under the eyes and side of the nose, had to spend 2 days in a row in the sauna and steam to clear my skin.
I switched to the foam version because it's quicker at absorption and doesn't risk spilling around.
I asked ChatGPT about it and the answer is inconclusive:
As for minoxidil, it is primarily known as a treatment for hair loss, either in liquid or foam form. Some studies have suggested that it might potentially cause collagen depletion, but these studies are not conclusive and more research is needed to substantiate these claims. Some users have reported skin aging symptoms such as wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes after using minoxidil. However, it's important to note that correlation does not imply causation. There could be many factors at play, including age, genetics, stress, diet, and general skincare practices.
If you're considering using minoxidil and you're concerned about potential skin aging effects, it would be best to consult with a dermatologist or a healthcare provider. They could provide more personalized advice based on your skin type and health history. Also, remember that it's always important to have good skincare habits, such as using sunscreen, moisturizing, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to promote good skin health.
Does anyone else here use topical minoxidil long term and have you noticed any skin degradation? Or is it nocebo.
