What Are The Side Effects Of Topical Minoxidil?
I am a 60-year old woman. I've used topical minoxidil for more than 10 years, most of that time the 5% solution.
Could there be ill-effects from long-time use and could there be any connection between use of minoxidil and
dermatographism that I am currently experiencing?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that of course this is the antihypertensive drug but while using this drug as a locally it wont create the hypotensive action and neither any other effect seen while using this drug topically, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
