Minoxidil can be used for beard and mustache hair growth. It is important to apply a 1ml dose of minoxidil foam to the affected area twice a day. Some common side effects of minoxidil include itching, dryness, and irritation of the skin. It is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication.
