Is There Any Link Between Nail Clubbing And Using Topical Minoxidil?

I'm 34, and I have nail clubbing for a long time. I can't even remember how long. I'm also using Rogaine 5% minoxidil once a day 1ml. Is there any link between topical minoxidil and nail clubbing. I feel fine, but after I read about nail clubbing it got me worried

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM,

I read your query and understood your concern. There is no documented connection between topical minoxidil and nail clubbing.

Finger clubbing, apart from many underlying reasons can also occur without any reason, just physiologically, in more than half of the patients.
So until you do not have any other symptoms, I see no reason for you to get worried.

Hope it helped.
