Definitely continue if it is not presenting you with any adverse effects. A good minoxidil should not be oily and should leave the hair manageable. You will begin seeing results over the next 3 months. Most importantly, ensure that its use is continuous. Minoxidil will actually cause more shedding if used intermittently. You can measure your progress by taking a picture with the same camera, same time of day, same lighting, from 3 different angles of your scalp. You can then see how your hair has changed by looking at the pictures over time. Also make sure to massage the minoxidil in. Minoxidil works well on most patients. Those whom get less than desirable results are either using an ineffective minoxidil preparation, not using in continuously, or not massaging the solution in.
