eyebrows

Should minoxidil dry out my skin? I've been using it for about two weeks, and the skin around my eyebrows has become very dry and sore, almost like a scab on a wound.

yea its normal for minoxidil to dry your skin and make the area flaky especially if you're using it on brow instead of scalp

be careful on how much you're using though you could be applying too much, just use the bare minimum needed to cover your entire brow

might need minimum 8 weeks for results and stay consistent or your brows might go back to being sparse

Thanks for the detailed answer, I use it twice a day, morning and evening, dipping a cotton swab into minoxidil twice on one eyebrow. Maybe I should apply it less or once a day?

Once a day is enough to see results but depends on how fast you want them and how sparse your eyebrows currently are

If you're putting minoxidil up to the point where its like dripping a lot you should def lessen it putting more in one session (more than needed to cover your brow) does not give better results unless you add sessions (more sessions beats more minoxidil used per session)

And if you're switching to once a day do it at night better absorption and you wont be doing stuff that'll get it off (if you're sleeping on your side wait until dried before sleeping)

I also use a meso stamp, setting it to 1.0 mm, 2 times a week

Okay, I'll try applying it only in the evening.
