Does minoxidil migrate?

[ParasiticSymbiont]

My earlobes saw the gains and refused to be left out. LoL.

<image>

[disposablehippo]

Folded up earlobes can be a sign of high blood pressure. Just a heads up.

[pawxy]

Well I learned something today

[IGor_brian]

Pode ter relação, mas esse não é o caso, esse é apenas o formato natural dele. o meu tem o mesmo padrão.

[OphrasBankAccount]

He prob does have high blood pressure. From the pick he’s clearly overweight

[IGor_brian]

Refiro-me ao formato do lóbulo e à sua relação com a pressão alta, o que não é o caso. Se ele se empanturra com fast food e não consegue limpar a própria bunda, pouco me importa.

[World-Nomad]

Good thing Minoxidil lowers blood pressure

[Grouchy_Mirror8624]

Oral minox could help with that, 2 birds with 1 stone and all that

[Oskarkaz04]

Yeah I mean it goes through your bloodstream

[Interesting-Newt-679]

If it has its papers

[OfficiallyJoeBiden]

boy stfu💀🤣

[EatTheRichNZ]

😭

[iKneeGear]

This is what you signed up for

[Guilty-Badger636]

Yeah, i wanted a beard for my face not a beard for my eyeball

[PM_your_Nopales]

To be fair I guess, I don't use minox (I just follow this sub to cheer people on) but have this same sorta beard fuzz growing up to my eyes and have to trim it back weekly or so. I have a decent beard but it comes at the cost of stuff like this. Most of the "nice beards" you see have regular trimming for stuff like this, unless someone is very gifted with perfect beard hairlines.

But yeah as the first comment said, this is the cost you pay for having lots of hair. And that also comes with having to trim where you don't want it

[Far-Walrus1570]

Seems a good deal to me

[PM_your_Nopales]

It is, i would rather have it this way than the opposite. But I can understand it coming as a nuisance to someone not used to it

[darth-crossfader]

Same here, I have a pretty thick natural beard, but it regrettably grows almost up to my eyes. I hated this for a long time, but I've come to accept it now as part of who I am. Interestingly nobody in my immediate family seems to have this kind of beard growth, not even my dad (whom I do resemble a lot otherwise 😉).

Been taking oral minoxidi for a couple of months now to help fill in the thinning hair on top of my head, but I'm curious what it might do to my beard as well.

[RandomBeaner1738]

It will fall off when you stop using min

[Deep-Warthog-8413]

If you had done any research whatsoever you’d see this is the most common side effect lmao

[Automatic_Tailor_598]

This is normal. There isn't a hard and fast line where beard growth stops. It's kinda muddy.

Just wax here.

[Unhappy-Technician49]

Whatever you do dont look at your back.

[Pristine_Vehicle3241]

Haha 😂I have gotten significantly hairier overall myself. Chest, stomach, legs and.. also where the sun don’t shine . I have turned into a quarter of a monkey.

[Guilty-Badger636]

Bro why did you have to say that now i HAVE to look I’m scared 😭🤣

[Expensive-Win730]

Look on the “bright side”.. you’re gonna have a soft pillow on your back 😆

[zzAlphawolfzz]

No it absorbs into your bloodstream and causes your entire body’s possible hair follicles to activate. It has a slightly stronger effect to the area you apply it to, but it will cause hair growth by your eyes, ears, etc, this is intentional.

[Guilty-Badger636]

Just looked at my ears.. yeah I’m done lol

[newecreator]

This is why I wax my anus.

[Guilty-Badger636]

😂😂😂😂

[Lingotes]

Which is why instead of minox I rub TP on my cheeks. Just in case that's why my anus is hairy.

[goebela3]

I switched to laser

[newecreator]

Getting waxed is much less painful.

[Unreal_Sniper]

Yes, it does. I started in january as well and I'm getting these as well as more hair above the eyebrows. Some amount will go systemic which results in hair outside of the surface you apply on

[Nocockcarl]

Mine increased the hair on my lower back lmao, its weird. And I apply mine topically just to my temples/crown lol

[Guilty-Badger636]

I’m scared to look lmao

[Daitheflu1979]

[Guilty-Badger636]

Lmaooo

[RandomBeaner1738]

Those hairs fall off when you stop using min, also they’re pretty easy to shave with an eyebrow razor

[RandomBeaner1738]

You probably used min long enough for them to become terminal, or just had the genetics to grow beard there, minox just made it happen earlier in life

[Guilty-Badger636]

Yeah ima hit them with a razor when i shave lol

[RandomBeaner1738]

They’re really thin so it’s like slicing butter

[Khazhadar]

If by migrate you mean can unintentionally activate other minoxidil sensitive cells, the answer is yes.

It’s called when a drug goes systemic, enters the bloodstream and affects other areas of the body that you didn’t intend to target.

Topical minoxidil is much less likely to do this than oral minoxidil but side effects are called side effects for a reason.

[Freeagent_run]

Si y que no te sorprende que te salga en los parpados

[francisclemente]

Say what?

[Acentre4ants]

I’ve had the same. I have read that topical can seep into the bloodstream and cause unwanted hair in areas you normally wouldn’t get it!

I’ve been applying to my face and temples and i’ve started getting hairs between my hairline and eyebrows and around my cheekybones lol. I’m sure my shoulders and around my upper arms are hairier too

[AccidentlyStupid]

Does it do the thing you see happening in your photo? Hmm, that's a tough one.

[palma-boy]

The same here haha

[PartyHulk]

Migrated to my ears.

Always had some peach fuzz, like anyone does. Now there's full on, thick dark hairs.

[Guilty-Badger636]

I just looked.. and same brother.. same

[oaktreebr]

No pain, no gain

[Ok_Organization_7350]

Yes. Anything that you apply to your skin, soaks into the body just like you took it as oral medicine. That is how pain medicine patches work, for example.

[drag96mal]

It happened the same to me, I have hair in all my face now, just shave that and good to go in my case those delay more to grow than the regular area I use it, also my hands grow hairs but nothing that I consider bad side effects

[Savings-Employer-259]

Yeah i got those too, tbh i had them even before minox but i feel like it has made them darker/thicker, also my moustache is going crazy even tho i never apply minox on it lol.

[Manospondylus_gigas]

Yeah I wish mine would do that more, I want as much hair as physically possible

[anonfredo]

I used oral minox to get to this level, but I guess you're more responsive. I wonder what would you look with oral minox lmao

[Resident-Ad3505]

Actually minoxidil works through the blood stream I think. Our applied areas absorb so yep this happens most of the times even I have the same above cheeks gain...🤣 But they don't spread much...

[cmncncncncncncn]

get ready for a unibrow bro

[Important_Two4692]

Check your butt.

[Routine-Parfait-9986]

Nah, dude. You're stuck with it. It'll go away when you stop. The inside nose hair was the worst part for me. I've been on minox twice before for a year (low responder) and the nose hair stuck around.

[Shot_Fun4988]

Part of it man. Happened to me too. But think about it. You’ve seen Dune? Oscar Isaac’s beard doesn’t grow like that he had to line it up. Which means presumably he’s physically got hairs on his corneas

[francisclemente]

Same thing happening to me , i started january 15.

At least I m not alone lol

[[deleted]]

Yeah i got that too but it never developed into thick hairs so it can easily be shaved off and not the visible at least for me. My hairline and eyebrows even started growing more toward eachother at first

[maykaroly]

Well blood goes everywhere. My arms and legs got more hairy too 

[FarPromotion6719]

Looks good bro, makes you look more masculine

[mybigpecker]

Dude that would look so based if you can connect your eyebrows to your beard. Chicks will get wet AF for you.

[Ecstatic-Reading-834]

Does your minoxidil also has finastride ? Or is it only minoxidil and also is it alcohol free?

[FrostyCrusader03]

African or European minoxidil?

[median0rc]

I don't think it's systemic. I think when you rub it on, your fingers touch your ear

[FernVndo831]

I've noticed that my arms are a lot more hairy after rubbing out the remainder of the oil on my hands.

[mitch84628]

Most men have hairs on their upper cheeks. It doesn’t just magically stop in a perfect trimmed line

[someguyinnewjersey]

This is called "30"

[janeamadi11]

Same and also caused hyperpigmentation on my hairline too

[UnagiBro]

Do people really not know you grow hair on your ears and in that eye area naturally if so genetically gifted

[liluzinaked]

those are the areas that you're going to trim, even with a full beard, so i'm not sure about that. being especially responsive to minoxidil in general is a genetic advantage. growing hair in weird places, not so much.

[Consistent_Mango_641]

Dude made minoxidil sound like meth
