Does Monistat 7 Works As A Product For Hair Growth?

I heard that monistat 7, yes the cream for yeast infections, works as a product for hair growth. i need it to grow my baby hairs that are on my hairline around my forehead. and are shorter than the rest of my hair. it looks like i have short little bangs across my head. does it work? and does it grow new hair that will be shorter than the rest of my hair? or does it just continue to grow my regular hair? or does it not work and is it not safe?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is being used for hair growth by some women but at the moment no clinical trials have been conducted to determine how effective or safe it would be.

At present the information is mainly from users reporting what occurred when they used the product for this purpose.
It is an over the counter medication and this implies that is should be safe but some women have reported headaches , burning and discomfort when used for hair growth.

You may want to consider speaking to your doctor.

I hope this helps
