Long-term use of Minokem N 5% lotion (Minoxidil + Azelaic acid + Tretinoin) may lead to potential side effects, such as skin irritation, dryness, or allergic reactions, although rare; while minoxidil is generally safe for long-term use, azelaic acid and tretinoin may increase skin sensitivity, and prolonged use of tretinoin can lead to skin thinning or increased risk of skin cancer; consult a dermatologist to assess your individual risk-benefit profile and determine if lifelong use is advisable, considering regular monitoring and potential adjustments to your treatment plan.
