Can you melt Minoxidil foam and apply as a liqiud?

Question

I have warmed up the foam gently by putting it in the cap an s warming the container gently with a blow dryer or hot water and then apply with a dropper. I find i can get the liquid more evenly applied to a greater area. Will this impact effectiveness?

Why dont you use a serum form of minoxidil that you can use it with a dropper to your scalp skin ? You can buy it from pharmacies, no need to try to be a pharmacist in your house.

This could. Application should be directly with the foam to the scalp. If liquid minoxidil is desired, use of the minoxidil topical solution would be a good option. This can be made with or without propylene glycol.
