I've been using Minoxidil for four months now, following my dermatologist's advice, but I'm thinking about stopping it. I'm 21 years old and a bit concerned about what might happen if I do. What should I expect? Will there be any side effects or hair loss? Is it safe to just quit Minoxidil after this period?
