Most patients complained of mild local irritation, itchiness, and folliculitis during minoxidil treatment. One participant developed contact dermatitis after 2 weeks of minoxidil usage. This patient experienced remission of adverse effects after treatment with topical steroids and oral antihistamines. One patient presented with excessive facial hair growth but did not receive any medication. Pain, itchiness, and redness around the treatment area were the most reported post-injection side effects. These effects were still tolerable and resolved soon after.
