I am 33 years old male using Minokem N 5% lotion(Minoxidil + Azealic acid + Tretinoin) for the past 7 years. No significant hair growth but hair loss under control. I experience no side effects as of now. Does this lotion pose any side effect on the long run. Can this combination of minoxidil, azelaiIc, Tretonoin be continued lifetime?
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.
