Hair Loss/chest hair

Question
The container of Rogaine says to put on the scalp only. But I have read blogs that it is safe to put on the chest.What gives?
Thanks so much,Phil

Answer
Hi Phil,

There are "off market" uses for medications. Try it, but if you feel any kind of burning or your skin stays red for more than 30 minutes after application, don't continue trying to grow hair on your chest.

Thank you for your question!

Take care and God Bless,

As a registered nurse, I can help you understand the type of hair loss you suffer and the goals of your physician`s treatment plan. As someone who suffers alopecia, I can explain treatment options and coping with the disease. Part of coping with hair loss is finding ways to "look natural", and as the owner of Belk Wigs, I can recommend several different types of hair replacement options based on the specific needs you may have related to your particular type of hair loss.
