Is minor safe while breastfeeding
I'm mom of 2.5 years old baby, who occasionally breastfeeds. I have hypothyroidism since 16 years, and suffering from hair thinning from 13-14 years, can I use minoxidil now? I used it earlier pre pregnancy times, but I want to use it now again, is it safe to use while breastfeeding?

Minoxidil should be avoided during breastfeeding as contact with the baby can expose the child.

Hello,
Thank you for your query.
• Based on the information provided, it is difficult to suggest the most appropriate treatment without a proper assessment, as several skin conditions can appear similar.
• Kindly share clear photographs of the affected area in good lighting along with details such as duration of the problem, symptoms, and any treatments used previously.
• I would advise against starting any OTC creams or self-medication, as some products may worsen the condition or delay proper treatment.
• An accurate diagnosis is the first step towards effective and long-lasting results.
You may book a consultation for a detailed evaluation and a personalized treatment plan. I would be happy to guide you further.

Hi dear.
Topical minoxidil 2% or 5% is safe during lactation , as there is very less systemic absorption.
But to devise proper treatment plan u need to connect online as treatment depends on proper dx and grade of alopecia.
Thanku
God bless u
