Senior Member Matt Skiba Posted May 13, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted May 13, 2007 I've been using minoxidil on the hairline for a little over two months now I think, one thing is kinda bothering me... I think I might be growing too much hair, I think it's thickening my eyebrows and I'm kinda starting to see some hair pop up on my forehead. My eyebrows are already sorta thick but I think I'm starting to see a very faint peach fuzz outline of beatle brows, very unattractive. Has anyone else experienced this? How should I handle this? A permanent hair removal clinic? or will it go away if I just take some more care in making sure it doesn't leak onto my face? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Matt, Unless Minoxodil is rolling down your forehead and getting on your eybrows, I don't see how this could be happening. Just be sure that you are washing your face (and eybrows) after application of the product. You MAY want to consider switching to the foam which will eliminate any dripping that could occur. Hey man...not to minimize your problem...but I know many people who would die to have the problem of growing too much hair . Hopefully my above suggestion will help.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted May 14, 2007 Moderators Share Posted May 14, 2007 Unless Minoxodil is rolling down your forehead and getting on your eybrows, I don't see how this could be happening. Minoxodil is absorbed into the skin. I imagine if you are using a lot of it daily it will start to spread out once it gets into your body perhaps affecting areas as much as 2 to 3 inches from where you are using it. The good news is he is definately responding to it, so hopefully he'll start getting hair growth in the rght areas soon. I know many people who would die to have the problem of growing too much hair . No way! I already have that problem. I grow hair all over my body... except for my head. How unlucky can a person get.

Bill - Seemiller Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 BeHappy, Minoxodil is absorbed into the skin. How fast do you think minoxodil absorbs into the skin? In using the liquid, it certainly CAN drip...so one must be careful. No way! I already have that problem. I grow hair all over my body... except for my head. How unlucky can a person get. LOL Well ok...but SOME women love a hairy man...body hair as well Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted May 15, 2007 Moderators Share Posted May 15, 2007 How fast do you think minoxodil absorbs into the skin? I think in some people it does get completely into the blood stream and affect the entire body. I used to get sort of a full body swollen and puffy effect, my heart would start to beat very fast, and I would get dizzy and lightheaded and practically pass out. I usualy had to lie down on my bed for a half hour and try to calm my breathing down until it passed. Those are some of the listed possible side effects. There's also been a few women who have posted that they started getting unwanted hair growth in other areas.

Senior Member Matt Skiba Posted May 16, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 16, 2007 I guess a minor problem is that my hairline is actually kind of leaking forward onto my forehead in some places, minor problem I guess, I think I heard some African-American people get their hairlines waxed to give it a straighter look.. Oh and I thought it might be helpful that I post this page with a picture of what I'm talking about.. it's nothing really significant, and a small price to pay for regrowth. Oh yeah and I actually think it has thickened up my sideburns, I consider that a positive effect. http://www.morphollica.com/product_reviews/xandrox15_review_month6.php --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
