A Google search says that it works until you stop using it, while some users say that they started losing their hair again after about fifteen years, although that is anecdotal.
15 years almost sounds like a cure to me. Why do people seek for other treatment if min could offer such big help? Because of the side effects or because some people do not respond well to it? Or they just found it boring to rubbing foam on their scalp everyday for years and years? I have been using minoxidil for approximately 4 months and it does help to increase my hair density. No side effects so far except for some tiny pimples popping out on my forehead. I dont mind to apply min to my head 2 times per day for the rest of my life if it works fine for me

Same.
I think for some people it just doesn't work very well so they search for stronger things or combine it with other things. In theory minoxidil should work as long as you keep using it though. The 15 years is just what "some people" claimed.
Weird you mention those pimples ... lately I also have had a few tiny pimples pop up on my forehead - after approx 4 months of minoxidil. I didn't put the two together until now.
