Hair loss, Minoxidil & lipedema
I’m on mounjaro and because of the weight loss, I’m also losing my hair. After blood tests came back normal, my doctor is suggesting minoxidil.
I’ve read oral minoxidil can came edema and swelling of feet and lower legs. I don’t want to make my lipedema worse, but would prefer oral over the topical solution. My lipedema is primarily in my thighs and hips, not lowers.
Has anyone here with lipedema taken oral minoxidil? What was your experience of it? Did it impact your lipedema at all?
