Hello. I am using Minoxidil topical 5% for scalp for growing hair. I am also fascinated that if I apply on the cheek area where I am not able to grow beard, it will help grow hair in that area also. Will it be advisable to apply for beard growth. Are there any methods to help grow beard? I have thin facial hair and I want to grow full face beard. Kindly advise.

Hi lybrate-user. Start shaving on the area where you want beard growth. Skin of the scalp and face are completely different. I would not suggest you to apply minoxidil on face. Happy Shaving.
