I'm a little confused about the instructions my dermatologist gave me. They told me to apply 1ml of minoxidil once a day at night, but I thought the usual dosage was 2 ml, like once in the morning and once at night. I'm wondering if this is right or if maybe there was a mistake. Could you help me understand what's going on?
