In this educational video session, Hyderabad’s noted dermatologist & trichologist and one of the Best Hair Transplant Surgeons in Hyderabad, Dr John Watts demystifies the use of Minoxidil topical lotion and unscientific and irrational myths surrounding it.

Can using Minoxidil topical lotion lead to memory loss and trigger forgetfulness? Is there any truth in it? He answers these queries in this educational video. So far, Dr John Watts has performed over 2000+ hair transplant surgeries successfully.

Srinivas Sri 1396 asks: Sir, I want to know if using Minoxidil on the scalp can lead to forgetfulness or memory loss. Is there a chance that the lotion gets seeped into the brain and alters our memories? Please explain.

Minoxidil is a well-established and US FDA-approved medication for promoting hair growth in individuals dealing with hair loss. However, like many other treatments, it has become a subject of various myths and misconceptions, some of which lack scientific credibility.

In this educational video, Dr John Watts addresses one such myth associated with Minoxidil — the notion that its use may lead to memory loss or forgetfulness.

Responding to a query from Srinivas Sri 1396, Dr Watts emphatically dismisses the belief that Minoxidil could cause memory loss. He clarifies that Minoxidil is applied topically to the scalp and is intended for local use on the hair and scalp. The application of Minoxidil occurs at a very superficial level and does not penetrate the layers of skin, muscle, or bone to reach the brain.

“The brain is protected by several layers, including skin, muscle, and a thick bone called the skull. Therefore, there is no direct connection between the application of Minoxidil on the scalp and its potential effects on brain function or memory. It cannot alter memory or affect brain function in any way,” explained Dr John Watts.

Conclusion: The belief that Minoxidil can lead to memory loss or forgetfulness is an unfounded myth without any scientific basis. Individuals prescribed Minoxidil by their dermatologists should continue to use it with confidence, knowing that it is unlikely to have any adverse effects on their memory or brain function.
