minoxidil is giving me a chubby face... what can i do ?

[Scoiland]

I have been on finasteride, minoxidil and nizoral for about 2 years now and i am 21

It seems lately my face is getting chubby... i am 5'10 168 pounds so i am not fat ...... and i am sure that this is from minoxidil

is there anything i can do to get rid of this chubbiness?? thanks

Skin reactions can be severe, wash hands very thoroughly after rubbing in minoxidil. You may be hyper-sensitive, perhaps use a dermo cream. Ask your doctor and don't be shy about the minoxidil, millions of men use it.

Edema in the face, or fluid buildup, is a side effect of minoxidil. One effect minoxidil has is to increase blood flow to the scalp, and this will lead to facial edema. My advice to you is try some diuretics to counteract it or get off the minoxidil.

i don't really want to get off it because i have seen such good results ....
