Can minoxidil (liquid) cause whitish skin discolouration when applied on face for beard growth?

October 24, 2018
Asked By:jobin123 in Kuwait

I've been using minoxidil on my face for around 3 weeks now. Recently I noticed a small whitish discoloration of the skin. My skin has been getting very dry and started to peel off. Is it due to that?
