Minoxidil can cause facial hair growth. To minimize this side effect don't let the solution drip over your face . After applying minoxidil wash your hands and face . You may try gel or foam formulation instead of lotion , they will not drip much. I hope this helps.
U can try doing PRP platelet rich plasma therapy to help with hair loss.
