Lost hairline because of Minoxidil
So I started using minoxidil on my hairline and just after a week I lost my hairline. My hairline went 1 cm back. At first I thought this was just a shed as I have heard online. But after regularly applying for 6 months, my hair did not come. It's been a year since I left minoxidil but my hairline is still pushed back, I started using it due to insecurity , but I had perfect hairline with no hairloss

Minoxidil only causes hairloss in the initial phase but then the hairfall settles. Did you experience any scalp irritation or itching whilst using minoxidil? Please take online / in person consultation so that actual reason for the hairfall can be determined adn treatment can be started.

You cant use minoxidil like that. You need to consult a dermatologist and take treatment in a standard way.

Hairline cannot be reversed by minoxidil as it can help only in preventing further hairthinning .
Once follicles lost it cannot be reversed by minoxidil.
