Using minoxidil 2%

2023-12-29 00:10:01
Hello Doctor!I have started to use minoxidil 2% without doctor's prescription from the last month.After using that I have faced dandruff problem and hair fall though using minoxidil.I know it's normal.But now I want to stop it.I have acne problem and also have acne spots.That's why a doctor suggested me to use a medicated shampoo but I forgot to tell her about using minoxidil.So my question is can I stop to use minoxidil now (used one month only)? I become impatient to use it as it takes to much time to work.Please directly answer to this question.
