About applying minoxidil and sweating: is that a problem??

January 10, 2016
Asked By:Sauvage123 in Curitiba, BR

I tend to sweat a lot and I'm on treatment with minoxidil. Since I apply in the morning, I tend to sweat during the day even just after applying. This is a problem? I use foam minoxidil.
