No, minoxidil does not cause cancer. It has been approved by global health authorities and used safely for over thirty years. Just make sure you apply the recommended amount and wash your hands properly after use.

I personally prefer using onion juice or amla oil for my hair rather than chemical lotions. While minoxidil is medically safe and doesn't cause cancer, if you feel any burning or severe skin changes on your scalp, please stop using it and consult a doctor.

No way yaar, minoxidil doesn't cause cancer. Actually, so many of my friends have been using it for years for their beards and hair, and it is totally safe. Don't stress too much about these internet rumors.

Bro, relax, minoxidil is completely safe and won't give you cancer. I've been using the 5% solution for my receding hairline for a year now with zero issues. Just buy it from a good pharmacy and use it as advised.
