hi guys, i'm a diffuse thinner, nw3/4 , im applyin a lot of minoxidil to cover the whole scalp, two times per day i'm using 4,5/5 ml each time of 5% minoxidil.

the problem is that i have a lot of water retention, in the face and in the ankles ,

i was applying it with a slighty damp scalp, now i apply with it after the shower but i towel dry well to have dry scalp.

what can i do to eliminate the water retention with the same dose of minoxidil ? i will not take less because i care too much about my hair.

i was thinking to try drink a lot of grreen tea or take a diuretic ? aerobic exercise can help ?

Stop applying it after a shower. Either shower earlier or apply once at night or in the morning. Im pretty surenit says on the directions to wait 2-4 hours after a shower so you dont absorb systemically.
