minoxidil/propecia and puffy face

[Dogs3]

Anyone around here getting a puffy face from minoxidil or propecia? If so, what are you doing about it. I hear flaxseed oil works and diurex. Anyone taking these?

I think minoxidil might contribute to the puffy face, however it may be due to me using a higher then recommended amount per application.


Also, I have noticed that since I stopped drinking for 3 weeks my face has gotten thinner. Perhaps a conflict with propecia contributing to the puffy face?

you mean like drinking alcohol while on propecia could contribute to puffy face? thats interesting, because the only time ive really noticed my face seeming slightly puffier was a day after i was drinking and i was about 10 days into propecia. I try to jog off the water weight and take a sauna 3 or 4 times a week to help it.

yeah that has been my experience. Not sure if others can confirm that, but I think so. there has been some puffiness due to one or the other.
