does using rogaine foam make you hairy in other places?

does using rogaine foam cause hair growth on your back and arms ancd other bodyparts? seeing as it does get systemicaly absorbed wouldnt this be another side effect.Im pretty sure the makers of rogaine wont tell us the full side effects list.We all think its just scalp irratation but thats a lie in my opinion.Ive heard people gaining weight suddenly while uswing rogaine.I also think it causes hair growth on other body parts.

increased facial hair growth is a listed side effect.

thanks for the reply,yes ive heard facial hair growth because of the minoxidil dripping down to the face.But i wonder if it grows hair on other bodyparts due to systemic absorption.i have used rogaine in the past and i could swear it made my arms,chest and other body hair worse.this is why im afraid to restart it without first getting expert opinion.

doubt you'llbe able to find expert opinion, but in my case it may have made a few larger hairs grow on my back and ears, although dht would also cause this so who knows which actually caused the hair, minoxidil or increasing age.

Yes ive also had some ear hair growth.i blame the minoxidil seeing as im only 25 and the ear hair grew when i was about 22.the funny thing is how when you stop using mixox the hair on your head sheds away but the other hair on otheyr bodyparts seems to stay. :roll:

No, I did´n´t become more hairy, neither on my head nor in other places.
