Minoxidil Use by Mothers May Risk Infant Hair Growth

Minoxidil is a medicine used to treat hair loss.

A new study found that when mothers use it, it might cause babies to grow too much hair in unusual places.

This can happen if the baby is exposed to the medicine through the mother or by accident.

The study looked at many cases from around the world and found that sometimes the cause of the extra hair growth in babies is not known.

The medicine can also cause eye problems in some people.

The researchers want to make sure everyone knows about these risks so they can be careful with the medicine.
