Currently Taking Menest And Progesterone, Bioidentical Hormones. I Am Considering

Currently taking Menest and Progesterone, bioidentical hormones. I am considering Monixidil 5% (men's formula b/c I have heard that the 2% solution for women does not work for women's hair loss. My hormone levels are good with the HRT but have had gradual thinning of hair for several years with it getting worse. My paternal grandmother had significant hair loss in her 50s and my body type seems to take after my dad's side. I am 68, thin with muscle loss over the last several years when I have had continued exposure and reaction to fragrances, smoke, or any environmental irritant. This extreme sensitivity came about after being exposed to mold in my home for several years without it being discovered until I became overly sensitized. I want to know if it is ok to apply the monixidil with my background and also if I take HRT. Just realized after I finished writing this that I haven't read the ingredients in Monixidil to see if it has a fragrance. It probably does so no matter what your answer may be, if the fragrance bothers me, I wouldn't be able to use it. Thanks.
