Does rogaine 5% cause permanent dread shed?

April 2, 2020
Asked By:welcomewill in Henley On Thames, GB

Hi, I’ve been using finasteride for a month with no issues. About 2 weeks into this I began using regain for a few days but decided against it. Was The minoxidil/regaine a mistake? Can a few days of minoxidil cause shedding? - As I have heard - I am contemplating using the foam on my eyebrows because I don’t want to waste it. Will this interfere with scalp growth? Thanks in advance
