Description
Ramadan S Hussein and co-authors review how minoxidil, a drug first made to lower blood pressure, became a mainstay of skin medicine. Their 2024 paper gathers what is known about how the drug works, how well it performs, and what side effects it brings when used on the skin.
The drug is best known for growing hair, above all in pattern hair loss, and the review weighs its use in patchy hair loss as well. It also covers mixed treatments that pair minoxidil with other agents. Newer uses reach beyond hair, into scar care and wound healing. The authors note that the exact way the drug acts is still not fully pinned down, and they offer guidance for safe, effective use.
