    Default Minoxidil and skin issues

    Hi everyone, long time since I posted here and probably no one remembers me by now,
    So for all the newcomers: I'm sorry.

    Anyway I've been dealing with hairloss since I was 18, yea, and now I'm 26 and have used probably every product that ever existed, (Can't handle fin/dut. tried a few times) But the best one was without a doubt minoxidil.
    It has made my hair insanely fuller, to a degree that sometimes I thought my hair looks better than in my teen years.
    The only problem was my face, it affected it, also insanely. I mean it's not something that people see but I can clearly see it and I'm not imagining it, I'm 26 with some little wrinkles mainly in the eyes area and my skin color has changed a bit too, like I'm in my 30's.
    My parents looked like teenagers until they were 50, so no it's not in the genes.

    I started using minox in 2011 and stopped in 2014 (because of the face) for a year, but after I almost became bald I started it again and the hair grew back in an instant, with my face, that also grew (up).
    So...I wondered if there's anything that can be done to "counter" that, even though probably the only thing that can be done is to stop using it, which will lead to thinner hair again and me being bald, and then I'll look like I'm in my 40's anyway.
    I thought about retin-a and maybe dermarolling or something, but still..don't think it's gonna help really.

    So if anyone here has faced (yea) the same problem and actually had something to do about it, I would be really happy to hear.

    Thanks.
