Has anyone found that Rogaine has increased their body hair?

That's why I haven't tried it. I'm afraid I'll wake up and have a beard like Rip VanWinkle. Frightens me.

yes- my doctors have said that this is a common side effect of rogaine, especially if you are using the mens kind. it absorbs through your scalp into the rest of your body. curiously enough when I was on rogaine I started growing hair on my forehead. (no i am not joking) even though I was always VERY careful never to let it touch anything that was not my scalp. Also increased hair growth other places - including places that I had spent incredible amounts of money having hair lasered from.

I have experienced increase hair on arms and legs after starting using. Its been confusing since I dont know if its from the PCOS or from the rogaine.
