Can one apply rogaine on the side of their hair?

alelaj
If the right side of your hair is thinner than the left side of your hair, would applying rogaine on the right side of your hair help restore thinning.I already apply rogaine on the top of my head, so I was wondering if it would work on the sides or if it is even safe for that matter. I would appreciate any feedback from a dermatologist.
