How common is facial bloating with Rogaine?

[attawnnc]

Hey folks,

Im considering starting the use of Rogaine but I've read several posts that talk about water retention in the face and honestly this scares the crap out of me. It wouldn't be worth it to try to fix my hair problem only to gain a problem like that. I can't seem to find information on how common this side effect is. Does anybody know this information? How common it is? or maybe it's just a small percentage?

Thanks Finfighter

I was a little concerned about the dark under eyes as well. I read that some people experience that too. I'm only 24 and unfortunately I already have pretty dark under eye circles all the time. The doctor told me it was genetic ( f*** genetics haha) so I dont want to make it worse.

There's a very good post on the forums somewhere that explains what to do if you get the dark circles and other side effects. I can't find it at the moment though. It was fairly recent so have a search through.
