Not likely. Minoxidil is FDA approved to stimulate the growth of lost hair but not to grow more hair if there is no underlying problem. You could try it but bear in mind that there are side-effects to Minoxidil - extra heart beats, dizziness, etc.

You can put minoxidil on the chest and it will probably cause hair loss. Be careful about overdosing the drug
