    Minoxidil, commonly known by brand names like Rogaine, is a topical medication used to treat hair loss and promote hair regrowth in conditions such as androgenetic alopecia.

      Topical minoxidil with retinoic acid is effective but causes scalp irritation, leading the user to consider switching to 2.5mg oral minoxidil. Oral minoxidil may cause body hair growth and heart-related side effects, so it's advised to use it under medical guidance.

      Topical minoxidil may cause skin aging effects like wrinkles and dark circles, possibly due to its alcohol content, while oral finasteride is reported to make users look younger. Switching to oral minoxidil or using moisturizers might help reduce these skin issues.
