TLDR Topical minoxidil may cause cherry hemangiomas in some users.
The document reports a case of a patient with androgenetic alopecia who developed multiple cherry hemangiomas after using topical minoxidil. Minoxidil is commonly used for hair growth, but its role in angiogenesis may contribute to the formation of these benign vascular tumors. The study highlights the need for awareness of potential side effects associated with minoxidil use, particularly in patients with a predisposition to vascular lesions.
