Minoxidil 5% liquid solution is made of 5% minoxidil + 95% pure alcohol. Solution must be applied twice every day, for the rest of user's life. Isn't that frequent and prolonged application of pure alcohol, eventually going to harm the skin/scalp where the solution is applied - cause an eczema or even cancer? And- which solution (liquid or foam) is less harmful for the skin & overall health? Liquid sol. contains 95% alcohol, foam sol. contains 30% alcohol + 50% propylene glycol + 15% water.

Stronger topical steroids work better in alopecia areata than weaker ones but are associated with more potential side effects with long term use. You’ll want to speak to your dermatologist about this issue and how long you might need. Clobetasol can be an excellent choice for short term use.
You never get a result with medications like minox etc other than FUE hair restoration surgery.Hair grafting/ transplant can be an option or forehead reduction and correcting asymmetry on your frontal hair line/forelock.I advice you have a FUE; you would get the desired hairline...
