Hello,
Thanks for the query.

It might be a side effect of minoxidil therapy or may be unrelated to it.

Yes it can be removed by LASER,

Another option is eflora cream,

I would suggest you to use this cream first,

If there is no response you can go for LASER.

Please meet a dermatologist and discuss regarding this.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
