Hair Loss InformationCan I Use Minoxidil On My Temples? – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog

Hi Doc. Can i use Minoxdil 5% on my receding temples? i think they have receded about 0.5-1 cm which makes me try to cover them..i’ve read about your response that hairline recedes with maturity…so how can i tell if its maturity or MPB ?

I doubt minoxidil will help much with a 0.5 to 1cm of receding hair line (even if it is from MPB). You may have what is known as a maturing hair line, which is normal and not considered balding. Aside from this, minoxidil generally works best in the crown.
