No result from Minoxidl and dark circles. Is there anyway to get rid of them without discontinuing minoxidil?

Question

I have been using minoxidil for past 5 months and it's not showing any result also I am getting dark circles around my eyes, Is there anyway to get rid of them without discontinuing minoxidil?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Rogaine generally does not cause dark circles under the eyes.  However, if you believe Rogaine is the cause, then you should stop using it or see a doctor for other cosmetic options.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

There is no correlation between these two.  My suggestion is to consider seeing a cosmetic dermatologist for the your dark circles as there are many options for treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Minoxidil does not work for everyone, in fact, it works less than 50% of the time with any noticeable growth evident and only 15% with good growth. If you believe that the dark circles was caused by the minoxidil and you don't see it working, then why continue it as the dark circles will probably go away if it was caused by the minoxidil.
