Can Rogaine Cause Female Body Hair Growth?
I know Rogaine can cause facial hair, but would it cause a large amount of hair to grow on a woman’s stomach, breasts, and sternum? I have already seen a endocrinologist and my testosterone was only at 4 and everything else was fine as well.
I have heard of cases and have occasionally seen a woman who developed body hair on the chest, between the breasts, near the nipples, and throughout the abdomen and back with the use of high dose minoxidil. When the minoxidil is stopped, the hair usually goes away.
This complication occurred most commonly when this medication was administered systemically in the treatment of high blood pressure in the 1960-70’s.
