What Causes Acne Break Out On The Face After Using Minoxidil 5℅?
I m currently using minoxidil 5℅ once a day upon my doctor s recommendation but within few days after use I developed cystic acne and when I stopped using it my face cleared up within a week.when I told my doctor this he just keeps on telling me that minoxidil is not breaking me out and instead wrote me a prescription for acne tablets and creams.I think he s duping me.previously I used minoxidil 2℅ twice a day and everything was OK.
