Applying Minoxidil

Question: What is the best way to apply minoxidil? I`ve been told several different things, for instance, that rubbing it into the scalp may not be as effective as using a dropper to apply it. And does minoxidil actually work?`

Answer: The minoxidil could be absorbed into your hand, but I wouldn’t worry too much. Perhaps if it’s a concern, you should use a rubber glove during application. Using a dropper is also a good way to spread minoxidil across the scalp. Different people react differently to minoxidil, as is the case with most drugs. It causes hair growth for some and peach fuzz growth for others.
