I've been using minoxidil for about a month and I've started noticing small breakouts and my skin is really itchy. On top of that, I've been feeling more tired than usual and the dark circles under my eyes seem more noticeable, even though I'm getting a solid 8 hours of sleep. Do you think these could be side effects of using minoxidil? Should I consider stopping it?
