Hair Loss InformationDo I Rub Minoxidil Into My Scalp or Just Put it On the Scalp and Leave It There? – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog

Hello doctor.

I have been using minoxidil 5% topical solution for a while now, and have always had this question on my mind. When I apply it, should I just get the substance spread out on my scalp and be done there, or should I actually rub the substance in thoroughly afterwards?

Thanks in advance, I am looking forward to hearing back from you.

A good application to the scalp is enough to get the benefits of minoxidil. Massage it gently into the scalp, but keep in mind that rubbing excessively could pull out the weak hairs on your head.
