Using Minoxidil For Male Pattern Baldness And Hair Growth. Worried About Side Effects?
Question: Dear Doctor,
I am 28 years old male and not yet married.
To stop the male pattern baldness and for hair regrowth I started using Minoxidil 5% after consulting a dermatologist from last 3 days.But now I'm worried about the side effects which I'm seeing it online i.e Decrease in sexual ability or desire....I'm unable to notice this issue with me but just wanted to know how the application of solution will effects my erection(in what percentage).I am very much concerned about this please let me know whether I can continue with usage or not.
Another query is.....usage procedure written on solution states that a person should only apply 1ml(twice) daily. I have baldness in front and center areas so should I apply complete 1ml on center area only.Can you please explain me the procedure which applies to my condition.
Thanks in advance.
